Here’s a complaint some JCTA members filed against the current union leadership team after similar complaints emerged in 2020.

Even though the filing window has not yet opened, this article ran in the Courier Journal indicated she is the only one running for the Presidency role. This is not accurate, but since there is no way for the reporter to know this, someone must have submitted this story to her.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars in JCTA-funded advertisements that are currently running, which feature Ms. Shepard and not her competitor.

In addition to receiving favorable treatment in her bid for presidency, Shepard has been hand-picked by McKim and groomed by him as his replacement. JCTA Members should ask Ms. Shepard what she intends to do in the top role that she was unable to do already, and why hasn’t she done it already.

If members want more of the same, Maddie is the perfect choice.
