[QUOTE="804brown, post: 846159, member: 29553"] No, there is a two way battle FOR the Hall. There is Row B who were given a large mandate (2 to 1 vote) to fix our local. They ran on cutting bloated salaries(done), more representation(done), fixing the health funds(saved it til the next contract), protecting our pensions(done), upholding the contract (as weak as it is), educating the members(seminars and workshops), getting a better contract in 2013 (yet to be seen), building raids(ok, not lately). There is Row A (aka Row C aka Tony's boys) who were in power for way too long. They assumed they owned those positions. They never counted on the membership waking up and throwing them out. And now of course,, they want back in because they cant stand living and working under those awful sellout contracts they sold us!! They miss the shiny suits and the Cadillacs and all the power that came with the position. But they had their time and they blew it. They became too confortable with management and too distant from the members and the actual jobs that we do everyday. Row B came in to the Hall right off their package cars and cabs and their clerks positions. They knew had to use a DIAD and scan packages. The only thing Row A scanned was their union credit cards in Las Vegas!! LOL [/QUOTE]
