United Service Companies - Richard A. Simon Criminals and Drug Addicts Cleaning Walt Disney World Delta Airline Jets Starwood Hotels and Marriott Hotels Chicago Illinois

I have been doing trade shows since 2000, and as long as I have done this I have heard the ugliest stories from people that have worked with United. Most of their Managers are Latin Americans and you would think that they would take care of their fellow Latinos, but on the contrary they exploit their employees. These guys have side businesses like selling Herbalife or doing self help classes and make there employees buy their products just so they can make some money. And because these people need to work they dish out a minimum of $300 a month and only make maybe $600 to feed and clothe there family. But somehow they get contracts to clean properties. Should these properties stand by while these so called managers exploit hard working people, you be the judge.

This past week, Simon, moved Keith Herrera to manage Starwood Hotel's service contracts (The Westin, W) It seems Hererra feared for his life working among Simon's security gaurds. They are all ex cops. Hererra was indicted on multiple counts of armed robbery.

I am a former employee of United Service Companies and witnessed the hiring of illegal aliens in the Hyatt downtown Atlanta. Many times, in order to avoid overtime, the managers allowed a worker to place his wife on payroll using her fake social security number. Payroll never caught and issued many checks. Cheryl Andrews is the director of payroll.

Marie Coger is no longer with the company. She must have gotten tired of covering the lies. Richard "Rick" Simon is still doing staffing work for The Sands Co in Las Vegas. How much money is he kicking back to the Outfit in Chicago? The Nevada Gaming Commission thought they got rid of the mafia....little do they know...the mafia is actually profiting by placing illegal aliens as housekeepers and banquet servers.

Here is a partial list of the hotels that use these people: Hyatt Chicago,Westin Hilton Head,Westin Ohare,Westin River North,Starwood Hotels, Dallas Starwood, Singer Island,Marriott, The World Center,JW Marriott Grande Lakes, RitzCarlton Grande Lakes,JW Marriott Palm Desert, CA. The Marriott Vacation Club uses this fine firm to clean its family style resort in Williamsburg, Virginia.

See, even criminals can be held in high esteem

Simon sucks up to Mike Cassidy of Starwood Hotels. Cassidy can be found as a frequent guest on Simon's boat. Explains the Starwood contracts. Hey do some background checks on these people and Starwood's room rates just got cheap. This company hides under the veil that they are legit, They seem to think that because they pay taxes, they are legit. They make no effort to verify socials as the HR manager once said, " I hate my job because I work for a company that provides day labor and has the highest number of criminals employed on staff" He eventually was able to leave and found a good job. Prior to that, in two years, the company had gone through two HR Managers. One, Michele McDermott,quit because she was assaulted by the CFO. Simon refused to fire him. The other, Lisa Seifert, was fired because she stood up to the corruption and the inbreeding of employees. Cheryl Andrews and Vicki Rosen have the skills of 4th grade drop outs but hire their entire families to work for United. Its the only way their offspring can be productive. Quite naturally, an HR manager frowns on this activity.

To all businesses in Las Vegas, National Business Staffing is owned and financed by Richard A. Simon and United Service Companies.

Supposedly the old CFO - Jerry Tack will sing like a birdsong if you can get through to him. Rumor has it the FBI has been talking to Jerry Tack and he is VERY BITTER....He had been helping Simon for years hide money and Simon stabbed him in the back. Who knows if its true or not. But the best one for your friend to try and talk with is Jerry Tack.

They also might want to contact the guy at the Venetian or Sands Expo center in Las Vegas. They hate Simon and have barred him from doing business with them. To get around it Simon got Gina Neist, Marie Coger's (the manager of United in Las Vegas) daughter to open up another business called National Business Staffing under Cheryl Andrews name and are doing business with them under that name but use a California address as their corporate address. Supposedly, if the information is correct, Graney came with a suitcase full of cash to give to the F&B director for the Venetian (Micheal Thomas) to get the account.

That would loose them several million a year if that information got back to the right people at the Sands/Venetian and other people in the casino business in Las Vegas. Fox News might want to contact Gina Neist at 702-210-1849 to get information as she has lots of information.
I can not swear to any of this, but I am willing to bet its pretty accurate.

Cheryl Andrews, the owner of record, is a payroll clerk that works for United Services.

Published by John J. Flood, respected authority on organized crime and The FBI

THE OWNER OF UNITED SERVICE COMPANIES

AS THE FLOOD FAMILY home, in a quiet north suburban Northbrook neighborhood was being terorized in the dark of night, by three swarthylooking individuals, they eventually screamed out the name, "Chief Inspector Simon."

Now, one wonders who is Chief Inspector Simon? A check with Cook County Police Department Officers assigned to case report #89-063177 received a "we never heard from him" reply.

CHIEF INSPECTOR SIMON is not known to many people in the Cook County Police Department nor in the entire Sheriff's Office of Cook County.

He is, however, well known to the political operative and chief intimidator of Sheriff James O'Grady's administration - one James Dvorak by name. Mr. Dvorak is now the Cook County Republican Chairman, Undersheriff of Cook County and former Chicago Police Officer now known as a "BuyA Ticket To An O'Grady Affair" muscleman.

JAMES DVORAK WAS, and for all that is known, still might be, a Vice-President of O'Grady's private detective, security and guard outfit known as Special Operations Associates, Inc.

He was a lieutenant and the Commanding Officer of the Prostitution Unit of the Chicago Police Department before joining O'Grady's inept and highly politicized administration of the Office of Sheriff of Cook County. He is the number two man behind O'Grady. The Undersheriff is known throughout the Office as O'Grady's hatchet and point man. He would know all the right people and night people.

Dvorak is a dear friend, Rush Street night life associate and mentor of Chief Inspector Simon who, it has been determined, works about two hours a day out of the Criminal Courts Building at 26th and California.

BUT AGAIN, who is Chief Inspector Simon? What are his credentials? His background? Does anybody know him other than O' Grady, Dvorak and their political cronies who are now part-time deputy sheriffs, under Chief Inspector Simon, within the Sheriff's Office of Cook County?

The answer is yes. A resounding yes. The federal authorities and the Cook County States Attorney's Office know him. He is Richard Simon. They know him well. He has a past, after all, but neither O'Grady or Dvorak want it known. The Chicago news media know him. John J. Flood knows him by his unsavory reputation and connections to the wellheeled associate of organized crime syndicate figures and ex-convict, Benjamin R. Stein. Mr. Stein is fondly known as "The King of the Janitors." Richard Simon is a good friend of Jim O'Grady, the "Reform" Sheriff and Mr. Dvorak "Reform" Undersheriff. These two men are Cook County's newest, roughest and underhanded political manipulators.

CHIEF INSPECTOR SIMON, before becoming Chief Inspector Simon, was also known to one Karen Lee Koppel. He was known to her as Richard Simon, a Chicago police officer and close friend of Ben Stein. Mr. Stein bestowed his affection on her. It seems that Richard Simon moonlighted as a chauffeur and vice-president of one of Ben Stein's janitor companies back in 1980. He was close to Stein then and he still is now. In 1980, Stein paid $29,000 a year to Mr. Simon for his services. During this time, Miss Koppel was just one of Mr. Stein's many young girl friends. She is no longer around. She has disappeared. Shades of the Dianne Masters case.

The last known person to see Miss Koppel alive since April 26, 1980 was... you guessed it... Chief Inspector Richard Simon. Mr. Simon was being of assistance to Mr. Stein when he was the last person to see her on the face of the earth.

Miss Koppel had a meeting with Richard Simon at Flapjaw's Saloon, 910 N. Wabash Ave., a wellknown hangout in the Chicago Avenue (18th Police District) where Simon then worked as a police officer.

Mr. Simon was meeting Miss Koppel at the behest and request of the ruthless Mr. Stein. He was offering her $10,000.00 from Stein to "straighten out her life. "It should be noted here that Mr. Stein hasn't quite straightened out his life after spending eighteen months in jail and having faced charges of tax evasion.

Apparently Miss Koppel feared Mr. Simon because, before going to this particular meeting with him, she handed a guard at her office building a card that bore the name and address of her attorney. She told the guard, "call this number if I don't come back."

MISS KOPPEL DID NOT come back and has not come back as of this writing. Shades of the Dianne Masters case which Shriff O'Grady and his office is well entangled in. O'Grady's security agency was even hired to investigate the Dianne Masters disappearance - to the chagrin of knowledgeable law enforcement officers. Maybe O'Grady, Dvorak, the Special Operations Associates, Inc. Security outfit or Chief Inspector Simon can find Karen Lee Koppel.

Richard Simon has been given his opportunity to assist in her disappearance. He was requested to appear before a Cook County Grand Jury by then State's Attorney Bernard Carey's special prosecution unit. However, Mr. Simon, a police officer and Stein front-man, politely refused to testify on advice of his lawyer. This, however, does not seem to bother former Chief of Detectives O'Grady, former Superintendent O'Grady and now "Reform" Sheriff O'Grady.

SO ON SATURDAY NIGHT, April 26, 1980 at 10:30 p.m., Miss Koppel vanished and has never been found. The last person known to have seen her is Richard Simon, after making the $10,000.00 Stein-related offer to this close female friend of Stein. Shades of the Dianne Masters case once again. WOULDN'T ONE THINK Mr. O'Grady would be able to see the similarity? Unfortunately, he has not seen too much in his highly political career. He chooses not to as he is well aware that it's not good politics to see and know too much. Especially when one might be called to give testimony on devious matters.

One of Ben Stein's other close friends beside Mr. Simon, now known as Chief Inspector Simon, but not known to Cook County Police Department officers, is Dominic Senese, the notorious Teamster offical who barely survived a "hit" attempt as his home earlier this year.

Mr. Stein and Mr. Senese owned the Sherman House Hotel together, purchased with a $5.25 million dollar loan from the Teamster Pension Fund. This property was then sold to the State of Illinois which then built Republican Governor James Thompson's abortion of a building monument to himself.. It is a structure, now known as the State of Illinois Building, located across the street from the County Building and City Hall. This is the house that Big Jim Thompson built and everyone has been having a good laugh over it ever since. It cost the taxpayers a lot of money.

Joey Glimco, another Teamster union man and outfit guy, is also Stein's friend. Glimco is close to the Hogan Family, the father and son team which controls Local 714, Machinery, Scrap Iron, Metal and Steel, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen, Handlers, Helpers, Alloy Fabricators, Theatrical, Exposition, Convention and Trade Show Employees, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which controls the workers at McCormick Place, where Stein controlled the janitors and where O'Grady's Special Operations Associates Agency provides services since he became Sheriff. Reformer O'Grady used to bemoan his plight prior to achieving office as Cook County Sheriff. Prior to his election, O'Grady could't get his security group any lucrative work at the exposition center. Special Operations Associates has it now.

LOCAL 714 of the Teamsters has long been known for its outfit connections. The people h*o have worked for them are a who's who of organized crime. It is the only Teamster Local in the country with major inroads into law enforcement. Guess where those inroads were made? You're right. Reformer O'Grady's Deputies and Correctional Officers are represented by Teamsters Local 714. Local 714 didn't get into the Sheriff's Office easily. The "two Jimmys" gave eager but quiet support. That is O'Grady and Dvorak by name.

Oh well, this story keeps going round and round. But there is definitely more to come. The end is not in sight. In retrospect, however, is there any wonder now that John J. Flood has concern for the safety of his family when somehone like Richard Simon dispatches three of his part-time deputy goons to his home, in the darkness of night, allegedly to retrieve credentials?

Credentials which O'Grady, while he was undersheriff during the tenture of Richard Elrod, originally gave personally to Mr. Flood, a prominent police officer and union leader. Mr. Flood has and continues to receive threats on his life. Mr. Flood has been told by Teamster people, amongst others, "We'll get you." O'Grady is well aware of this but that does not seem to matter. If Mr. Flood disappeared, there would be one less strong critic of O'Grady's ineptitude and strange relationships.

BY THE WAY, let it be known that O'Grady took back Mr. Flood's star while he, O'Grady, was dealing with the 714 Teamsters people. Mr. Flood personally gave the star to O'Grady and Dvorak in O'Grady's office in the Daley Center. Mr. Flood, to no avail, still pointing out that his life was in danger.

Street rumors have it that the 714 Teamster Hogan Family have Deputy stars and credentials. There are rumors that Ben Stein has a Deputy star also and has been a generous backer of O'Grady.

COULD THE STAR that Mr. Flood was forced to turn in by O'Grady, thus removing Flood's ability to defend himself have been given to one of these close friends of "Mr. Clean," Mr. "Reformer," Mr. "I Don't Know Anything" O'Grady?

Below is an email from a United Manager...it goes on to outline the fraud in Las Vegas. This is a dummy company set up and financed by United. No casinos such as The Venetian, Sands, etc . will get near them so they formed this dummy company and are doing business in Vegas.
Andrews is actually a payroll clerk in Chicago.
