[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1197986, member: 42554"] Let me translate some of the rhetoric: "Sold us out": Hall explains hard truths & realities to the membership, but they don't go over well. "listen to the Membership": the usualy blustering from that perennnial element that wants to strike no matter what. "Out of touch": means we're unhappy that reality met some of our Contract proposals and it wasn't pretty. "Needs to be gone": Because some live in that fantasy land where removing their current E-board will somehow garner them more power at the National when the exact opposite is usually true. "Cram it down our throats": The more straight talk from Hall & Co the more likely this is to be pulled out. That and it's usually used to negate a vote tally. "(insert issue) wasn't addressed!" Almost always the opposite is true, however the utterer feels the changes won't make a difference and isn't willing to give them a chance. "Re-negotiate the Master!" Ignores realities of contract negotiation & ignorance of the process. "Strike!" Throwaway phrase that shows the poster has no idea how far we are from even discussing such a prospect. [/QUOTE]
