Charge IV explores the direct role NALC President Brian Renfroe and Executive Vice President Paul Barner played in orchestrating the dismissal of charges against themselves. It highlights contradictions between Renfroe's own 2023 due process rulings and his 2025 actions, framing this as a knowing effort to suppress accountability with Council complicity.

This charge outlines how the NALC Executive Council's actions - including procedural manipulation, failure to investigate, and dismissal of charges - directly undermined the NALC Constitution and eroded member trust. It frames this not as a mistake, but as conduct that harms the union itself.

Charge II accuses the NALC Executive Council of acting as a bloc to suppress accountability, shield Renfroe and Barner, and dismiss serious allegations without constitutional justification. Evidence includes testimony from NBA Mike Caref and VP James Henry, showing that the process was politically driven and predetermined.

This episode covers the first formal charge of the April 23, 2025 filing in which the NALC Executive Council, led by President Renfroe, violated Article 10 by dismissing the charges without investigation, hearing, or recusal. It details the April 16, 2025 emergency vote, which was convened by Renfroe despite being the subject of the charges - a profound breach of due process and executive ethics.
