Actually that negotiator 'resigned' when a new NC Chairman was appointed... by the MEC Chairman. Politics at it's worst.
I have emailed my ATL reps, but based on the response from the Capt. Rep, I am not hopeful. He is hung up on speed vs. quality, TVM and all that.
Uh, after nearly 30 years here you know the NC chair is elected by the MEC, right? The NC member resigned of his own volition and was not removed (the MEC chair or NC chair can't do that, only the MEC can). You'll have to ask him why. I agree he did very good work on C2012.
So with the facts, where's "politics at it's worst"? Again, shoot outside the circle, please.
