This is correct. My belief, they want everybody to bury their heads and not get riled up while they take a week to craft the marketing campaign that they will shock and aw "squeaky wheels" that don't have time to truly analyze what is being said, then rush to a vote. For this strategy to work most effectively they need all the councils regurgitating the same talking points, "this is a HUGE win"! That's why are are seeing the early marginalization of councils that aren't willing to just go along for the ride because the boss man said so.

I want to say publicly I am very thankful for those individuals willing to stand up for what they believe in and diligently represent this pilot group- even at the cost of having cheap shots thrown their way by anonymous union insiders who are obviously lacking in fortitude or character. If 2012 is any measure, we know the powerful insiders will try to drag any that disagree with them through the mud in an attempt to diminish credibility. When I read the well articulated, signed letters from C1 and C20 I feel truth and it gives me hope. When I read the unsigned letter from unknowns in our union it smells heavily of BS.
