[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1840334, member: 29553"] Why didnt the 2 slates that ran against Tim's slate join forces in 2012?? For the same reasons they will not join forces today: one slate, Eddie' slate, is seen by Bill's slate as being too inexperienced while the other slate, Bill's slate, is seen as Old Guard and old news. Another reason is ego. Nevertheless, Members United will win re-election. This is not a change election. In 2009, there was a feeling that change was needed: the old board gave up fighting, they gave themselves huge salaries, they supported Hoffa and his concessionary contracts and mishandled our funds. In 2012, the old guard had their chance to defeat Tim and Members United. They were only in 3 yrs and were still getting their footing. But those 2 opposition slates couldnt come together and Members United got re-elected. Since then Tim has negotiated us a fine supplement that delivered on many of their promises. Plus the Funds have been handled in a responsible and reasonable manner. That makes me sleep well at night. I for one will not go back to those "bad old days". [/QUOTE]
