I guess I'd ask how you can defend why "our" "union" offered zero top cover for those who might have needed a loan in their quests to defend the contract.
That's what causes disunity--waffling and squishy language, passive guidance.
Want unity? Start with strong, firm leadership and a willingness to rumble for guys who lay it on the line.
Good post Purp. And thanks again for doing the right thing and flying the contract.
