Sounds more like inexperience.
It's an admission that I don't know everything. You should try admitting that to yourself one day.
No.... it's not.
It just doesn't say, what you want it to say.
I have cited many examples of poorly written articles in various posts. It's so bad it almost seems intentional. But, what do you expect when you get a bunch of truck drivers trying to do a lawyer's job?
No.... panel decisions, reinforce negotiated language.
Maybe sometimes. But you can't honestly tell me you actually believe every panel decision is a perfect reflection of both the letter and intention of the contract.
Please.... that sounds like "locker room lawyer" talk.
I probably have a better understanding of the law and contract theory than you, but don't let that get in the way of your unyielding condescension.
It sounds like you have an adversarial relationship with your Local.
They don't agree with you.... or tell you what you want to hear.... so they suck.
Maybe you need to stop reading only want you want to believe. I will call out anyone in a position of authority when they fail to live up to their duties. But that doesn't mean I'm being adversarial. Respect is a two way street. Yes, I'll get frustrated with my interactions with people, and yes I'll come on here and vent, but you should not take that as an invitation to believe you know everything about my circumstances.
Get involved with your Local.
Participate in the Local meetings, talk with members that work in different crafts.
Does your Local have a retiree's club ? Talk with them.
There are so many opportunities to learn....
-Bug-
I am involved. I take every opportunity to learn that I can. I will call BS on anything that is BS. I'm just not saying what you want to hear so I suck.
Maybe you should listen to what other people are actually saying instead of just assuming you know more than everyone,
you might just learn something.
