The new board should be held accountable to their promises. However, you think it was a "mistake" to vote in Row B?? Ok, so it was Ok for members to be sold out by the old board and allowed to horsetrade members?? The 300 case backlog of arbitrations was ok?? The 2 sellout Hoffa-pushed contracts that the old board pushed on us were ok?? The health and welfare fund running out of money, OK?? The frozen pension since 2002, OK?? Man, I could go on. Expecting alot from the new board is reasonable but expecting miracles is not. Supervisors working has gone on for decades and not just here in local 804. They promised to address sups working whereas the old board just ignored it. It has been addressed , grievances are being filed and paid . Hopefully you are one of those who have been grieving sups working in your building. A matter of fact I'm hearing the board is holding a seminar on Jan 29 with activist members on tactics and strategies for attacking sups working. Go to it and be a part of the solution.  On discipline being taken, well you are going to have to be a little bit more specific. On the health and welfare funds, you are totally wrong. The new board came in and made some difficult but necessary changes. Was it the most popular thing to do politically??No. But it was the fiscally responsible thing to do. I give them credit. They told us what the problem was and immediately fixed it. We all took a hit, including retirees, but it had to be done. Again, this would not have been such a problem if the old board had done its job in the first place! On the building raids, I know of several building raids, but you are right, they have not had as many as I expected they would.  Listen, this new board is not perfect but they are addressing our problems and they are not lying to us. The other guys did. To now say, you are going to vote row C which is packed with former row a hasbeens , seems to be wanting to go backwards. Talk about having your "heads examined"! Plus like Eyes says, "this vote is to get Hoffa out of office". When you get your ballot in a month or so, vote Row B -they will be going to support Sandy Pope. Row C (Row A in lonewolfs clothing lol) have no problem with Hoffa. In 2 years, you can make an informed decision about the new board and the job they have done over 3 years and then you can vote your conscience.</blockquote>
