You know what I only read and hear this type of thing from NO voters and I find it objectionable.

First I would like to challenge the poster of this statement to define "true unionist" for me.

This TA was produced by men and women who are more "true unionist" people than the poster of this comment. How do I know that? Because they are there doing the work and committing untold thousands of hours of personal un-rewarded time for your sake.

Of course let's take it a step further and ask the question, how long have you been part of this union or any other union for that matter? Have you walked the picket line, have you paid assessments to support other who are on strike, have you volunteered to serve the needs of others no extra monetary reward or do you just pull this "true unionist" card out when you don't like what these men and women have produced on your behalf?

Disagree, politic to change things and vote no, but resort to personal attacks and veiled threats? No that's not "true unionism"that's nothing more than being a thug.

On Saturday "true unionist" will have had their say and we will move forward regardless of the result.
Really?! Here's what I actually said before I pasted the update from Eric and Ben:

Lightly edited for format. This is a superb update from true unionists. I hope my L UAL bros will read this and take heart that many, many of us at Cal are 100% with you in our joint fight against the real enemy - management!

In no way was I suggesting that our unionists are better than your unionists and I certainly was not suggesting that I am the sole arbiter of the mantle of "True Unionist." Not at all.

The fact is, I read a lot of talk from some L-UAL guys on this board who believe that Cal guys are content to sit back and let the company whipsaw you out of existence. My point in posting this update was to show that many of us - including the IAH reps in particular - are AGAINST THAT!
