You just keep telling yourself that. The tempature of the water in the “pot” your sitting in is going up slowly, Mr. Lobster. Let’s just hope there’s butter to go with it when the Company washes the feast down their throats in 2020.

One of two things should happen.
-Frear will no longer do union work
-Carey will no longer do union work

Im surprised Bob hasn't quit already. Carey has done nothing to improve the APA lot in life.

Great report from Bob.
I looked up some of this but I don’t see how you can make the stretch that this decision may trickle down to private unions. They are very different entities. Also, similar cases have been heard for the past few years and there have been no changes to the current status quo. I’m just personally skeptical that this will have any major impact in the near future.

Two reps have now come out (on C&R) to support Bob’s claims (although one is a lot more, uh ***timid on what to do). Many (on various FB groups) have also claimed to have spoken to their reps and they have all corroborated the ‘facts’ as presented in the blast - but maybe not quite the same ‘tone.’

This is really unbelievable. We have incredible talent in our union... It’s like watching a cowboys game

Please continue to send soundoffs. For better or worse, we are APA (well, not route66).

You are correct.

Other guy has no clue what he’s talking about. Public unions are a very different entity.
