No.

I am suggesting EXACTLY that the union take charge. Floundering around wimpering "woe is me" doesn't get anything DONE.

Have whoever is the mucky-muck union guy in charge.. the guys whos been saying he can do better than Menke at finding solutions... have him submit a darn application that says CEO in the position field. Heck, have EVERYONE submit an application for the vacancy. Surely there is a huge pool of talent available that doesn't have a graveyard of dead corporations in their closet.

No diplomacy crap. No maneuvering. No B.S.

Actions not words. Product not promises. all that rah rah crap that means nothing until someone actually does something.

As for the pay issues: has each effected employee filed INDIVIDUAL regulatory complaints with the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hours division for failure to compensate? If not, then the union leadership isn't giving very good advice. Has each effected employee THEN filed INDIVIDUAL regulatory Complaints with the Tennessee Department of labor Fair Wage Act that requires full payment in a timely manner? If not...then the union isn't giving vey good guidance. Has anyone files Civil suit against for Fiscal NON-Feasance (look it up), Fiduciary malpractice, or fraud? if not...then the union isn't giving very good guidance.

Again....the point is....there is SO MUCH that can and should be done. we are three weeks past the "I told you so" point of no return. There is nothing to lose. put-up or shut-up. Lead or follow or get the hell out of the way so that someone can.

Menke just got out of the way.
