[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 2740819, member: 42268"] I'm retired now and just turned 65 so I'm out of this fight. But as someone who went to his monthly meetings during my time and still keeps in touch with his local I can tell you the health care change and the way it was presented has not been forgotten. And while I and many members understand the call for unity, there are many members who are just as angry as anHOURover. And not just 623 but all the surrounding locals in the Philly suburbs and South Jersey. We were just flat out lied to last time. And members have not forgiven nor forgotten. These upcoming negoiations better be upfront and forthcoming. And as you know, Hoffa didn't do great in Philly and the suburbs. It was a direct result of the health care debacle. I can't comment on Sean at all. Never met the man and from what I can gather neither have many of my local board members. But I can tell you many members are just itching for a fight. I was always known as one of the cooler heads in the local and I'm telling the people I still keep in touch with give the man a chance. And a strike is not a good idea. But don't just blow anHourover as if he's the only angry guy out there. He's not. [/QUOTE]
