As such, she is not seeking re-election next term. She seems to believe the video itself will trigger a recall.
Question: can someone say who these persons are? If not appropriate for this forum, name a domicile? Or initials?
My fear: if what she says is true, then they fight only for the sake of fighting. I'm afraid these clowns will throw away scope, work rules, seniority, etc, as long as they get what they want.
At the moment, I don't have a dog in this fight. But I would hope that those who do would be able to shoot down a hostile bandit at the polling booth.
Well you have to realize you are only getting one side of the story.
You don't need to worry about these "clowns" giving up scope or work rules; their complaint with Wendy is that she's not being aggressive and militant enough, not that she is playing hardball.
For some reason I got an email from one of Wendy's supporters on the MEC. I don't know this person, and I don't pretend to have any inside scoop on what is going on behind the he said/she. However, I found several things that he said completely ridiculous and inaccurate. The one where he instantly lost all credibility in my eyes was when he proclaimed that it "made him smile with pride" when he saw both our MEC's steadfastly insisting on UAL work rules. Ummm.... Our work rules BLOW. They are bankruptcy rules. They might be more desirable than CAL's, but keeping them and getting no improvements should not bring a smile to ANYONE'S face.
