[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1007855, member: 29553"] What you "dont get" is that their president Redmond was on the National Negotiating team picked by Hoffa himself!! Also what you "dont get" is that Bill AND Tony endorsed that National Contract with that language in it. Real leaders lead. Real leaders stand up AGAINST weak language, AGAINST concessions. They stand up FOR the members and do NOT sit on the podium and NOT speak up to oppose sell out contracts. I remember Tim getting up there at the mic standing up to the entire board telling them how wrong it was. I also remember Pete and Neil and Liam stepping up at the mic to oppose that last contract. They stood up against the old board and stood up for the membership. Someone had to. Then we all by a huge margin VOTED DOWN the Redmond/Buhlert/Donato SUPPLEMENTAL Contract. That was the moment Row A lost their election!! That was the moment the membership lost faith and trust in the old board. We are back to contract talks. Old names like Buhlert and Donato and Guarella think they themselves are so worthy of negotiating our contract again?? So we are supposed to reward weakness and incompetency?? NEVER AGAIN!! [/QUOTE]
