EXCLUSIVE: SMCU President Ludson Evers busted for trying to rip off TELEM.

~ Evers wanted payout totaling Naf 202.864 and become a contractor.~

PHILIPSBURG:--- President of the St. Maarten Communication Union Ludson Evers has been caught with his pants down when documents provided to SMN News shows that Evers tried to rip off TELEM by submitting a timesheet for overtime post-Irma. SMN News learned that Evers told management of TELEM that the Chamber of Labor Unions made an agreement with the Labor Department to pay employees overtime during working hours. SMN News learned that Evers was not successful in getting the overtime payment he requested since the union could not produce the written agreement between the unions and the Department of Labor.
While Ludson along with other members of the Chamber of Labor Unions have been bashing TELEM for paying an excessive amount of money  to contractors, he himself submitted a proposal to TELEM management for early retirement on March 19th and to then acquire a contract as a contractor for the company.
Ludson wanted TELEM to pay him a total of NAF 202.864.00 which includes his social plan for an early retirement lump sum for 8 months NAF 65.440.00 and 24 months at 70% totaling NAF 137.424.00.
According to documentation, SMN News obtained Management of TELEM rejected the proposal on May 27th.
Details of the proposal Evers submitted:
L.E ENGENIEER CONTRACTOR
(L.E.C)

 proposal for technician power department and buildings maintenance Telem Group

this proposal is for preventive maintenance, maintenance, restoration maintenance, and projects.
under preventative maintenance falls the following:

Preventative maintenance for the generator.
1. visiting the cell sides, substations, and measure GEBE AC voltage on the phases in the transfer switch if it has on at the location, measure the amperage the building is pulling on each phase.
2. check oil level in the engine, cooling water in the radiator, measure gen set battery voltage, and last running hours on the time display.
3. start gen set on test mode to exercise engine and transfer switch.
4. repeat step two but this time on the generator side.
5. check oil pressure, engine temperature, and measure battery to make sure alternator is charging battery.
6. run engine for half-hour and switch of engine by retransfer the transfer switch and engine turn off automatically.
Preventative maintenance for the DC side, UPS at the cell sites, and sub-stations.

1. go through the event history of the DC power plant and or UPS to see the behavior of the equipment.
2. check all the rectifier units make sure they are working.
3. measure the total DCV on the batteries.
4. measure the DCV for each cell of the batteries bank.
5. a load test is recommended twice a year for the batteries.

The grounding also will fall under the preventative maintenance, grounding has to be measured every time the technicians visit the cell sites and the sub stations.
the lighting arrester must be checked as well when the technician visits the cites, as well the grounding network of each site.

preventative maintenance for the buildings are the following:

1. check breaker boxes for loose connections.
2. measure ACV at the breaker boxes.
3. measure amperage at the breaker boxes.
4. make sure building ground is connected, measure it as well.
5. check all lights in and around the building.
6. check locks and electric locks from the buildings
7. check all air-conditions in the buildings and report to the if not working.
8. check all restrooms for water leaks.

in principal the maintenance and the restoration maintenance can work under the same conditions of the preventative maintenance parties will agree before execution.
All the above work executed will have a report with findings, and recommendations where is needed.
I will also execute on-call service 24 hours 7 days a week

My company can also provide projects:

 projects will be discussed and agree upon before executing, details of projects must be presented upfront for example scope of work in detail and my company will provide quotation base on the scope of work giving for the specific project.

Any additional work that must be carryout on the specific project will be considered as additional work and will be charged for accordingly, after discussing and agree with the additional pricing.

The projects prices can be reduced because of the retaining fee that is being paid per month

Total amount per month for two teams of two technicians each with two trucks and one supervisor is NAF 85.000,00
Total amount per month two technician one truck and a supervisor is NAF 60.000,00.

 The proposal made by Evers and his statements regarding overpaying contractors clearly shows that Evers has been contradicting himself based on what he says as a union representative and what he does as an employee of TELEM.
Noteworthy is also the fact that Evers requested overtime for himself post-Irma and did not do the same for union members even though citing the Chamber of Labor Unions have an agreement with the Labor Department, he did not make the same request for the members of SMCU.
SMN News contacted TELEM CEO Kendall Dupersoy for a comment on the documents SMN News received and Dupersoy said that as CEO of TELEM he will not comment on matters relating to employees because it will be unethical.
