Just seems to me issues like these, both dues and initiation have one common element. UPS withdraws the cash. My response to your picture meant no disrespect to you. I’d like to make that clear.
I didn't take it as any disrespect, truly.
As far as a "common element", knowing what I do about the dues checkoff procedure, there are for sure two....UPS and the Union.
Where the disconnect is, that's the question?
.....and from a distant vantage point with limited information, the illusion is that the score is 1-1 on these two very different scenarios.
