^^^^^^^^THIS!!
This is the most frustrating thing. Election after election, the same names keep showing up to the table. How many base reps ran unopposed over the last couple of years? It's a hypothetical question and the answer is WAAAAAY too many.
Hell, the CLT rep (who ran unopposed) couldn't even be bothered to stay for the last day of the last meeting (which he dropped trips and was paid for). He was on a flight a 7 am and failed to leave a proxy with anyone. He's violated multiple union directives about Scheduling notifications and deadheads and then pens a blast stating what he did and then proceeds to blame others.
That's on all of our heads!
