[QUOTE="unionman396, post: 1436679, member: 55495"] Wow ! The last general membership meeting before the ballots are counted and no sign of the G slate or any of their supporters . only 1 guy showed up wearing an old G shirt, he felt so out of place there he was going to leave ! I asked him if no one from the slate bothered to call him and tell him the members of 396 aren't important enough to answer any questions or just plain show some respect for us! They asked,called us by phone begging for our votes but not important to be visible. This is costing us members of 396 about $45- $65,000 for this Election!! Money that should be used for more important things like : organizing , steward training,voter education so we can fight the real battles that all unions must face, union busters, politicians not for working families , Greedy companies like UPS ,Waste management and Fed ex When you run for office these are real issues that you better be able to solve ! Not slamming others and not having solutions is like a Monday morning quarterback with all the winning plays. Advice to the Gslate 1. Be a man , show up to all yards, answer questions 2. Give out facts about you , examples of grievances won, arbitrations won , contracts negotiated etc, this won't take too much space on a flyer or mailer as we all know those answers. 3. For both UPS and Sanitation companies , please plus translation for our brothers & sisters in those industries. 4. And most important please keep outside entities out of our union!! The Dumb Useless . or tdu Guys who haven't been union ( B. U. ) for 15 yrs wearing 396 shirts, retirees who couldn't do the job when they were active ,stay out! If you had any use to the members you wouldn't be retired! Get a hobby,read or even write, maybe become a DJ. Spin some records instead of lies. 5. Loyalty : Can't teach that, either you have this or you don't. Oblisously not one of your strong points Not loyal to all members, current administration, JC 42 or the IBT. All this hurts us 396 members because at one point or another there comes a time to work together for the better of us all. You would keep us down and single us out with no one to help us out. All in all I don't think your a bad guy! Just the wrong guy to lead our local in the right direction. Keep dreaming big but take baby steps become active in the union , come to the meetings and not just every 3 years , do some rally's , see what the union does for its communities . Thanks for showing us what you are made of and how important or like you said " putting members first ". Live by your motto ,follow your slogan. The G slate think about helping the members not hurting them and their families. [/QUOTE]
