Here are just a few of Keith Hill lies and Unapproved Expenditures.
1. In 2018 ,Keith Hill was sued by a CTA manager for defamation and slander.
End result costing the Local Union $100s of thousands of dollars in 2019,
Violating local Union Bylaws by sending the managers Attorney $ 75,000 wire transfer approved by Toi Bowers. Requesting the manager sign a ( NDA ) " None Disclosure Agreement " before they released the rest of the Funds. All of this was done with approval of the Entire Executive Board and Toi Bowers / without Membership Approval. The Members don't know today what the total amount of the Lawsuit cost Local 241.
2. In January of 2018 Keith Hill and Toi Bowers took $ 150,000 from the Beverly Bus Garage federal credit Union, closing the account, and didn't report it to the Members until August of 2018, claiming they put it in the 74th street federal credit union. " Those funds are Unaccounted for to date.??????
3. In March of 2018 Keith Hill and the Executive Board voted to send William Pierce ( Operator) of 77th St. Garage to the International headquarters in Silver Springs MD. For training to temporarily do Toi Bowers jobs while Toi Bowers was Off work from her Elected Union position , collecting STD payments $$ from an Insurance company she Elected to pay with Union Funds, Violating the Local Union Bylaws and was still being paid her "full Salary" as the Financial / Recording Secretary, while being Off . Toi Bowers did this numerous times while in Office. Approved by Keith Hill. William Pierce is still doing the Job today, Toi Bowers and Keith Hill just recently sent William Pierce to the International Convention in September, all expenses paid by the local Union members Treasury...( Members )...👀
4. Recently Keith Hill and Toi Bowers paid for a number of Retirees including Debra Hill ( Keith Hills Mom ), to attend the International Convention, Black Caucus and Latino Caucus in Las Vegas in September of 2022 , all expenses paid by the Treasury of the Members of Local 241, Never Approved by the Membership of the Local. President Keith Hill also paid for his personal Guest. Toi Bowers was recently reimbursed over $ 8,000 during the same time period.???
A number of questionable reimbursements were approved by the Executive Board and Toi Bowers, such as Paul Tolson whom retired in February of 2019.
5. Keith Hill since being Elected in 2017, has conspired with the Authority Executive Officers to Falsify documents to Falsely Discipline and Discharge a number of Former Elected and Non elected Members of Local 241, in his efforts to stay Elected as the President / BA.
6. In 2018 and 2022 as President, Keith Hill deceived the Entire Membership of Local 241, while presenting ( 5 ) pages of the TA, in joint meetings with local 308, both times. After the Vote by the Members of both Locals to ratify the TA , the Authority posted on the official Chicago Transit Authority website and CTA portal the Entire TA, which consists of over ( 16 ) pages of contractual Agreements ( changes ). This is Deception and must be reported to the proper Authorities.
7. There was an audit of the Chicago Transit Authority Pension and RHCT Funds done in September of 2021 that resulted in a number of investigations of both funds . Also resulted in the removal of the Deputy Director ( Willie Means ) and a Clerk ( Ayanna Nesbit ) ex- wife, of former President Darrell Jefferson , that the Sworn Fiduciaries of both funds ( 241 ) , Keith Hill, Woodrow Eiland, Toi Bowers failed to report to the Members and Retirees of Local 241, ( 308 ) Eric Dixon, Mark Weems, Deborah Lane aka ( Lame Deborah ). Allegedly Over $ 200,000 dollars was given to the 241 Officers Keith, Toi and Woodrow to be refunded to Members of Local 241 that were considered overpayment. The Officers of Local 241 never disclosed any information but, altered list that were given to them, by both Funds but they created their OWN list which resulted in a number of people not receiving their refunds from the Local office. Toi Bowers whose Job and signature must be on the checks, accused some of the Members of receiving the funds and requested they sign affidavits stating that they didn't, while she knew that there was a problem with checks being illegally cashed by someone in the Local under hers and their WATCH. As the investigation continues, the Executive director ( John Kallianis ) has abruptly left, they have replaced him with Paul Sydris who allegedly has been fired from the Authority?? In the interim we've lost all Union positions at the Pension Office. CTA wins all the way around. Thanks, Keith Hill, Toi Bowers and Woodrow Eiland.
8. There's an Investigation into the Local Union Treasury of missing funds through cashed Checks. There appears to be a serious problem from within. President Keith Hill and Financial / Recording Secretary Toi Bowers are accusing the United States Postal Service ( USPS ), and the Amalgamated Bank, and Chase Bank. They want the Members to believe these institutions which handle Billions of Dollars would actually conspire to take funds from 241 which only handles 1. 4 million annually. " Get Real ". Thus far we're possibly at $ 500,000 , they filed a claim against the Union fidelity Bond for $ 120,000 in 2020 or 21.
9. Take a good look at the Profit Loss statements from 2017, when Toi Bowers was Elected.. She has been inflating the Treasury balance since being Elected. 1 reason is she thinks the Members are feeble minded " her words not mine " while sometimes I must agree, 🤔, why would 241 Members elect a 308 REJECT that could never get Elected until she was kicked out of 308 and put in 241 because she worked in a 241 area 629 Job.
2. Our Bookkeeper of ( 42 ) years left because of the disrespect of Woodrow Eiland and Toi Bowers and the Idiot President Keith Hill not wanting to pay her, but doesn't have a problem paying his mother who does nothing but keep up S**t in 241 . The Local hasn't had a Bookkeeper since 2018, so you can imagine how bad it really is. Toi Bowers doesn't have enough family members to cover up her mistakes!!! A True Forensic Auit is needed and is coming Very Soon.
10. Toi Bowers has been reporting inflated numbers since being Elected. Just recently she accidentally put the True amount of 1 . 6 million in the Treasury. The problem is she Lies about having more money than there actually is. A Local Union can only show an increase in capital through investments. All investments must be approved through the Members, all Monies in the Treasury belongs to the MEMBERSHIP!!!!
11. President Keith Hill has approved the Financial / Recording Secretary Toi Bowers illegal acquisition of a credit card with $ 100,000 dollar limit in Violation of the Local Bylaws. It's alleged that Toi has used the credit card for personal purchases as well as Union purchases and intentionally reimbursing herself large amounts of MONEY.. Theft by Deception, I hope she's enjoying her new home in Flossmore..
12. It appears that President Keith Hill is renting office space to a company that does Covid 19 testing. Did he report that to the Members?
13. Toi Bowers is purposely deceiving the Entire Membership.. Make sure you're looking at your check stubs biweekly, it appears the financial Secretary Toi Bowers is deducting Union Dues and assessments multiple times from Unsuspecting Members, sometimes 2× Quarterly. WATCH YOUR PAYCHECKS!!!
14. President Keith Hill and Woodrow Eiland are actually Insurance Salesmen, they also have Darryl West the former disgraced 1st Vice President in employ. Collectively they've cancelled Aflac Insurance payroll DEDUCTION slot and replaced it with BBS, Liberty National Insurance, Liberty Mutual and anyone else that will give them a kickback.. While Keith Hill lies about everything and everyone else We know he's a Thief and will FIGHT a woman anytime, anywhere 🤕🧐...
15. While in Vegas during the Convention, when ask to nominate the IVP from Chicago ATU Local 241,why did this Lying idiot say he used to be a GANG BANGER? Maybe he meant to say he was GANG BANGED as a little Girl? Damn Dummy..
16. President Keith Hill has NO Military Experience, No College Education.. If soooooooo, Please post your DD214 LIAR... Mr. President you know We have copies of your Depositions . You can't protect your Lies with ( NDAs ) . It's the Members Money, WE must be told, It Must be reported.
17. According to records there's $ 60,000 Spent on the Sports Program far from the $ 3,000 Bylaw limit..
