You can't hurt my feelings, I left them at home.
RTW is the lazy reform movement. Get to meetings, prove your leadership, Don't sit back and wait for republicans to fix your union with RTW and anti-prevailing wage laws, cause you won't have a union

I wish I could believe that they are simply lazy. I'm sure a percentage of them seek reform in that misguided, chaos creating way by backing the big corporations in pushing RTW but I believe the vast majority of them have been brainwashed by right wing radio and Fox news to believe they are good for labor. Isn't it amazing that they can't reason that if large corporations, billionaire owners, CEO's and the like back RTW'S BY dumping billions into republican party campaigns to push agendas like this, that they certainly aren't looking out for the interests of the union workers, or workers in general. Can you just hear the CEO of UPS in the board room at a meeting discussing how he backs RTW laws because he cares about his union employees and wants to make sure that there union memberships remain intact so they can keep paying the highest wages in the industry with the best benefits. WTH!!! Some of these "union" members really believe that RTW increases unionization. That's right Atomic, Big corporations want RTW because they want more unions, more union labor and higher wages. That's it!!!!!!! Wake up people!

Don't know much about Coli, how is he handled his new position

Sent using BrownCafe App
He has been thrown into a sh#@ storm. I suppose he has been doing the best he can with what he has to work with. That being said, he is a pawn for his superiors in Washington. We received that message load and clear with the new contract proposal/railroad job.
