I'll bet zero dollars went into that email. On the other hand, I know for a fact that every LEC rep puts WAY more personal time into union work than they are ever compensated for. There are many long nights, early mornings and "I'll be right there (wife/daughters name here) right after I finish (countless small union task)". Recognizing the service of a rep as he steps down, regardless of where they go, is hardly a waste of time or a circle jerk. There are positions open, perhaps you could step up and see for yourself. Or, maybe not...
