YET they still want us engaged, supporting their efforts for contract 'XX, etcetera.
Another failure of self inflicted lack of leadership. And Yes I did write my rep, in fact I wrote them all, yesterday.
So is the take away, don't bother us, but do what we say? Who works for Whom?
There has been numerous articles about the move due to the BOD not being able to hold the meeting due to “unforeseen circumstances” at the hotel in Florida. It didn’t say it was due to Hurricane Ian.
They also explained that it is now being held in Las Vegas. They also said, contact your representative if you wish to run for the FDX EVP job (you should rather than just whining on APC). I’m fairly certain you will get a reply - by the way, it was probably overkill to email “all of your reps”? You actually only have one Block Rep but three total elected representatives that make up your Local Council. Regardless, I’m sure you will get the details you need to make the trip to Vegas.
They are also posting for a new EA job to assist the MEC Chair - you should definitely apply for that as well. I’m sure he could use your help.
While you are there, drop in for the member at large and say hello. I’m sure they would love to see you as well.
The takeaway is you can exercise your rights regardless of location- FLL, LAS, or MEM!
