Why is this "essay" more convincing than the alternative point of view? Must be because he dares to speak for the minority, everyone loves an underdog.
If it fails, I am sure his FO's in HKG will appreciate his martyr status as they continue to live on 2700 bucks.
If he is all about revealing the truth, how come he never told his block that he had bid on and been awarded a HKG CA position BEFORE he ran for a MEM block rep opening? Seems like not the thing to do if he was truly a man of truth, honor and the American way.
Politics and Spin, I thought the MEC was NOT GOING TO SELL!!!! Well I guess they must have meant they would not sell a yes vote, but a NO vote can be lobbied and sold by one of their own, that is obviously a different animal.
Thats it. His "essay" is convincing because he is an underdog! Nothing to do with his logical explanation of his views.
Yep, and if it fails, he will have martyr status also! If so, and if questioned, I would guess that he would be able to explain his position to anyone.
And I guess he was deceitful by not revealing the truth about his upgrade bid to his block! (thats if he didnt reveal it, not sure) Damn him and the American way!!
Politics and spin seem to be on the non-underdog side. Otherwise, he would have been able to do it through the normal union channels. And, it would seem that with DVD's, online vids with the ALPA guy, and other forms of communication; some which is pretty good, the union has in many ways said a yes vote is needed. Thank goodness they arent selling it as a yes!
