That's a special kind of delusion.
I have always thought that about him.

I got called into the Cpo many years ago for something that the Cpo thought I did wrong, but didn't. Anyway, as a guy not accustomed to being called into the Cpo, I asked to have an Alpa rep. So, I came in on my day off and RW was my rep.

First impressions from him pompously talking down to me were: this guy can't dead lift his own weight and he's talking to me like I'm five. I just didn't like him from the get go and would consider anything he did in the future was just self serving.

As it turned out, his presence was unnecessary. But, he'd made his mark on me.

Fast forward 15 years and he's still there. Same leopard, same spots.

Once you lie to the internet(social media), your credibility drops to zero, in fact, less than zero, because anything you say after that is a liability.

So what was the resolution of the stealing of the undies out of the "Stew" bag?

That matches what I've heard from a couple of other guys who had dealings with him. That guy needs to go permanently, not just shift from rep to a new position. Definitely not become a P2P.

I produced the bra too, a signed hold harmless and a no compete letter.

This is why the AA contract passed. 90% of our guys have flip phones and commodore 64's.

Well, to be fair... the APA negotiated that it had to be a cost neutral deal, so money was just shifting around. Brilliant. There really wasn't any upside to voting that one down.
