[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1007541, member: 29553"] Like I wrote earlier, this is not a referendum on the current board. As "bad" as a few might think things are, there would be a real possiblity of getting Donato or Buhlert in charge of this local. They were part of what was wrong with our local and unions in general (out of touch and overpaid). Their "experience" when in power gave us 2 weak contracts that effects our quality of life on the job: language that favors management and undermines our rights. Both currently are suffering from their own handiwork. Again, it is not about a yes or a no about the current board. A vote against Tim's slate means either a union lead by Donato or Buhlert. That is failed leadership of the past. They couldnt get the job done all those years. Why would it be any different now?? At least Tim's group have come a long way in 2 1/2 years. They are now more experienced especially heading into contract talks with management. There is no way our local will EVER trust Donato or Buhlert again [/QUOTE]
