I was and am willing to do what it would have taken to get a contract I deserve. I was ready. I voted on the merits of the contract (as I saw it) not on how "others" would or wouldn't support me.

I truly believe that if the majority had voted simply on the merits and NOT on what THEY thought "others" would do it would have been overwhelmingly defeated.

Maybe unity is simply not being scared of the "others"
