It's not a crime to say, if you give us 3 delegates and 2 alternates, we won't run a slate against you.
That's an offer they are free to accept or decline.
In my opinion, PK was stupid for not accepting that offer.
Or at least counter offer a lower number.
Would have saved the local $30k.
I don't think so.It might not be illegal per se, but that sounds tremendously unethical.
There would be nothing wrong with attempting to build a coalition to unite a fractured local union by extending an olive branch, but demanding "X" number of delegate slots "not to run" is the definition of the very backroom political deals you seem to decry.
Besides that, seems that such a "deal" would be almost as hard to execute as it would be to broker?It might not be illegal per se, but that sounds tremendously unethical.

For mere mortals maybe...but then one needs a backup plan when the likely double cross occurs. Don't forget, legal slate declarations are made after the nomination meeting, not before.Besides that, seems that such a "deal" would be almost as hard to execute as it would be to broker?
And had your guys really wanted to save the local the $30K it was easily within their power.I don't think so.
3 delegates is not a lot to ask for.
That's less than 30% of the delegates our local has.
Our guys were going to run, we just thought we could possibly save our local some money.
That sounds like a line from a Tom Waits tune...For mere mortals maybe...but then one needs a backup plan when the likely double cross occurs.
kind of surprised you would resort to this....2 people on this random internet forum, bubblehead and bug allways seemed to be above this,,,1 leftLocal 177.
A whopping 2....TDU guys ran.
And lost.
(one of which, is a TDU golden boy)
It wasn't even close.
How much did it cost the Local ?
-Bug-
Don't forget the high five on the back of the neck.The local pays to send their delegates to vegas.
