Also don't you find it odd he didn't even run and then RS says hey guys I'm not running now vote for BL as a write in. I don't know the inner workings of our union by something seems fishy. If he wanted to run he should have tried to get on the ballot.
BL didn't want to be nominated and therefore didn't solicit nominations.. but there is a large group that is going to write him in.
Just remember BL has a good relationship with the company while getting change. That's important. Also your captain rep should be on the phone with the company daily working on grievances, disciplinary actions, scheduling, pay, etc.
BL is here four 1.5 years till flow, and he really cares about the group.
