Want to disagree with the leadership? Fine. Do it with facts, not rumors you can't back up. And have the backbone to stand up, put your name and face with the charges and defend them in public instead of behind a keyboard and avatar.
Nicely said. I might add "want to disagree with the leadership? Fine. Do it with facts - AND DO IT TO THEIR FACE. Ask them your hard questions."
As a committee chair, posting your ire and something you heard from another crew member; that one of the ExCo may have been possibly discussing; and posting it as a FACT, that you are aware of because of your high involvement in the union, is chicken guano.
If you have a question, go ask the guys. They have proven time and again that they answer their phones 24/7. There is never a time that one of them is not available.
