Where you here in 2000? JM had a good reason to do what the did. I don't think they expected that provision to be used the way it was. I don't think DH even knew it was there, unitl probably a compnay lawyer told him about it. But that's just specualtion on my part.
I'm not here to rehash what happened back in the day. How Lee got voted in (by like 2 or 3 votes - same as the DFW guys would have given JM). Like I said, we've had some good MEC chairs and some turds. As far as JM - we were lucky to have him serve when he did. Same for SD. SD impressed me with LOA 51. But then again union business has always been less baout us, and more about progression of the top to "better" things. The guys I mentioned above I think were true advocates for this group with no ulterior motives intended.
