Mark DeBellis is home now, but only after making an examiner look like a homebody by spending more than 100 days on the road this year (over a 151-day span) visiting CUs.

I suggest you study the writings of Dr. Deming to learn how to improve productivity, lower costs and enhance quality of service. Introducing incentives would not be effective and would probably cause damage to teamwork and productivity.

The announcement of the new budget by NCUA and the 5% to 8% pay raises given to the unionized staff and subsequent matching increases given to management staff should be met with constant and continuing acts of civil disobedience.

The simple fact remains: there is a mess that needs to be cleaned up, and we all need the services that we used to receive from the corporates.

I sat on a school board for 14 years and I know management has the right to accept or reject union's offers. I doubt the NCUA employees involved would have appreciated this information hitting this news outlet stating they were demanding an 8% increase when the credit unions are giving 0% so we can replenish the NCUA insurance fund.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey doesn't usually get flooded with requests for a 15-month-old testimony from a personal filer's case. But the testimony of Linda DeMartini, operational team leader for the litigation management department at Bank of America Home Loans, has been in hot demand since Nov. 19.

Among the world's safest bets is that no credit union executive will have used any of the previous Thanksgiving holiday to give thanks to NCUA.

Thank you very much for posting "NCUA Rules CUs Must Accept Alternative Credit Reports." Let's now hope fiscally responsible consumers step up, as only they can do, to self-report at their own expense, non-reported credit references ...
