[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1011236, member: 29553"] He is OUR lawyer dope!! He works on behalf of the membership!! As for thinking Im a board member?? Nope wrong again. And my eyes and ears have been open for some time now. I felt the momentum change for Howie and the boys in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. They kept from us the Pension/Health Fund switch-a-roo in 2006. They negotiated and endorsed a weak, giveback contract. They didnt tell us our Health Fund was bleeding and would be millions in the red by June 2011. The deal making and selling us out behind closed doors with management they got too close and buddy-buddy with. Yep, my eyes were absolutely opened. And members said "Its time for a change!" Well, Im certainly not seeing or hearing that these days. Im hearing that members are grateful for cleaning up the mess your boys left this local. We only wish the Redmond/Buhlert/Donato group didnt leave us with such a terrible contract to work under. And our HOPE is that Tim and his group have the integrity and intelligence to bargain on our behalf for a strong and fair contract. If not, then what happened to Howie and the boys in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 can happen to Tim and company!! [/QUOTE]
