[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1756730, member: 29553"] Over the years I have met or known some pretty smart shop stewards. Just because they might not have won any elections for whatever the reason should not disqualify them. At least you know that person knows the job well and is not out of touch with the members. Also wouldnt be burdened with having to make deals or compromises some would consider selling out. In a lot of cases a steward is more pure while the BA or officer has to be more balanced and nuanced. Anyway what it seems Tim is putting together is a very diverse slate. Leaders from different crafts. Full timers as well as a Part timer running on his slate. Officers, BAs, trustees, even a shop steward. Leaders from every region of this country A slate very diversified racially that actually looks like our union membership. A slate of local leaders willing to stand up and take on an old, tired and entrenched "leadership". A slate that will listen to the rank and file and fight for justice and dignity and respect. A slate that will visit every barn and hub and center NOT EVERY GOLF COURSE!! A slate with a fire in their belly to stand up to UPS and willing to SAY NO to UPS and not DICTATE contracts on the members who pay their salaries!! I know we havent had that at the Intl level since the Carey days. But pendulums swing. And it certainly is time for a change!! [/QUOTE]
