[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 621754, member: 4568"] I guess I can try to address your concerns in order: 1. I am not any of the people that you have suggested that I may be. Just a normal member for over 20 years. I'm not even a steward. 2. Yes, I do go to the meetings. I see John and all the other BA's bring in guests to help us in our labor struggle with our company's. I also see them setting up craft meetings following each general membership meeting. Which allows us time to discuss pertinent issues with our BA's or our president personally face to face. No phone call needed. And they will stay as long as it takes to address every issue. I have seen them there for hours after the general meetings have ended. 3. For any brothers or sisters who have never seen Wesley or their particular business agent. I strongly suggest that they themselves attend one of our monthly meetings at the union hall. A schedule of which is published a year in advance. That way they can see them every month, and know who they are. As for me I want my president to be found at the hall everyday working for my best interest. Not out at the hubs. The president of the US, governor of my state, mayor of my town have never once showed up at my house or job. Does that make them incapable of doing their job? Of course not. 4. You stated going to meetings is not important to becoming president. Nothing is further from the truth. If your not at the meeting how do you know whats going on ? That is the one time a month that you have time scheduled to meet with your membership. How can the voices of the membership be heard by their leader if he's not there? I want no part of any leader who cant find the time to attend our meetings. 5. No I have not reached out to anyone on the members first slate. Nor have they reached out to me. They may be a great bunch of guy's. I have no idea what their intentions are. 6. My screen pic is an attempt at humor. It goes back awhile on this board to a discussion about UPS getting volume back form FEDEX any way it can. Hence the picture. [/QUOTE]
