Secrecy is not going to help anyone's "hand" unless you're trying to slip something past the membership.

Stating one's well formed opinion (as valid as yours), is to you, "tough talk". Is that like tough love for the self-defined cerebrally challenged? All right then.

You know all there is to know about negotiations with UPS and exactly what works with the new leadership of the company based on your first hand knowledge of how BM negotiated a contract...in 1998, and all the campaign promises he fulfilled in BM 2.0...which would be NONE. Fair enough.

We have an army of two...SF and MM did ALL that stuff singlehandedly? All those volunteers in all those committees, the head of the safety department, that bloated ASAP department the rest of the EB, and all we ever needed based on your tome was Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy? Wow! And don't forget, SF singlehandedly wrote the LOA that UPS raped us with and then did what they wanted to do in the first place...or so I have been told by his posse. And his accomplishments were the featured item on the IPNN for...weeks, how could we forget about those stunning victories? It's a wonder he doesn't have a cast after breaking his arm patting himself on the back so often. Let's just send everybody else home and get a dues refund for all that talent we didn't need and you didn't recognize. Nice.

We can bash BT some other time, and TN as well, since you brought it up (even though he got a better contract than BM EVER did despite the sabotage of the Falujans from minute one). Once again that's the centerpiece of your little cheerleader squad/sorority...really? Sure...fine.

As for the dynamic duo...I'm not impressed. And besides, PERHAPS EG might run afterall (who would rightfully mop the floor with MM), and another far better candidate is about to announce who has forgotten more about grievance (which SF "oversees" in his position) than SF will ever know and has more time jumpseating in the system than SF has total time flying for UPS having hidden from the line all these years may well send SF back to the training center, so I guess we'll both have to vote our conscience.

If only we had all known...we likely don't even need a negotiating committee as those two are in your all seeing eyes the master of all domains. And of course we can never change horses in mid-stream. Can't wait for all the other bumper sticker vintage reasons to settle for less than.

Can't wait to see what low-ball sleazy stunts SF and MM will pull this time...they lowered the bar pretty far last time.

Bob,

I don’t oversee grievance, wrong again.

When interacting with you in person, on your jumpseat, we treated each other with mutual respect and you were satisfied with my work as At-Large Representative. You said that, out loud, in front of the rest of your crew. If you do not like me, disagree with my political positions, or make the decision to go with another candidate, that is your right. Please vote for the other candidate(s).

I would appreciate you stopping with the spreading of inaccurate statements, half-truths, and digging up the past. If you must do this, let’s do it on a less public site.

Thanks,
Scott
