[QUOTE="10 point, post: 2032974, member: 52520"] For those with short and selective memories: Carey raised it during the strike because the company offered the $1000 bump at 30 yrs to get us to cross the strike line and then they could control the pension fund. He had two choices and with families not getting strike $ after two weeks he did what he felt he had to do to keep solidarity. Not "for votes". That's a lie. I was there. He couldn't forsee the economic downturn coming. BUT, even without much of a strike fund, he stared down the company and because of his well earned trust as a leader we hung in there and trusted someone who was one of us...and we won. Jim Kelly hated Carey but favored Jr. Why was that? When the company likes the union's GP it speaks volumes. Now, we live in a ME generation. Take care of me and screw everyone else is the mantra. Carey's courage will always be remembered no matter what slander is posted here. He was the leader that "came out of the woodwork"... without the famous last name. [/QUOTE]
