[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3502505, member: 14176"] Look, here's the real answer why this will never happen, much as I have always advocated for stewards to be the "Sergeant Of Arms" at the panels as well. It's not that they can not contribute, just the opposite, as they have frontline knowledge of new technologies and policies. See, in most cases, these elected officials, who were once elected stewards themselves, realize the threat these stewards are to rise up and run against them in subsequent Local elections. So once elected, most that are "Inthegame" and subsequently become "BigUnionGuys", rarely strive to empower some uppity steward that may actually be able to make tangible contributions. Instead, they are kept in their place, and if they toe the line and wait their turn, they may be brought in through attrition....maybe. I was recently told that my job as steward, was to make my BA's job easier? Sounds about right, smh. [/QUOTE]
