I would call that a major faux pas. Nehls is on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. That statement likely got back to Nehls through his brother since his brother received that blast email.
Making an enemy on an important committee that your industry relies on doesn't seem very intelligent.
All of those amendments that you listed above (labeled NEHLS AMENDMENT by you) were by members of the T&I Committee. That's the process. Committee members propose amendments. Ambrosi knows that, or should know that. I can't believe that was allowed to be sent out with that statement. Unbelievable.
I love it. Ambrosi should have taken the gloves off faaaar sooner, though. The whole 67 issue didn’t even make the front page of the ALPA site until about a month ago.
And who cares what Nehls thinks. Lets just say he’s not the type of elected representative we can expect will do any favors whatsoever for organized labor. Quite the opposite, in fact. But the Houston bubbas will still vote for him.
