To blame anyone except themselves (especially anyone in the membership) for their own shortcomings is pathetic, cheap and undeserving of the dues we all pay. But many of us are expecting it.

But we’ve got a long history of assigning blame’s to scapegoats here don’t we? It’s the way of things with people like yourself who don’t think about things logically, only emotionally.

You can get mad at individual dues payers all you like… it doesn’t change the fact that maybe the dues payers are owed more in the form of better, more effective ideas to get this contract done.

2.5 E Days should have NEVER been agreed to. FDP plus 2.5 E Days were nothing but AJ setting the stage for where we are now.

But I’m sure that a 10 year deal with 2.5 E days is my fault too.
