There was this big panic about, "We have to get back to the negotiating table!" Well, what did the negotiating table ever bring in the fist place? And what is it producing now?
I know, I'm just saying its disingenuous for people to pretend that our members who are following our unions advice to help out are somehow pulling it out of their butt. As a union, that is our current strategy. Helping as much as we can. I happen to agree that it hasn't worked, but the answer isn't to respond to individuals by feigning ignorance of our current stance.
If you think we are on the wrong path, sowing discord amongst our group is hurting more than helping. Go to a union meeting and speak up. We are stronger together than apart, even if you disagree with our strategy. Its better than open infighting. Together we stand, divided we fall. You know, that whole UNION thing.
