To: contact@local18membersvoice.com You know Paul, Do you even know any of the elected officers? Have you ever been to one of their houses? Spent some time fishing with them? Gone to a ball game with them? Have you ever even said anything nice about them? I doubt it. Consequently you can't honestly judge them, how hard they work, how hard they try, how much they care. But you sure can slander them. I've been a staff member for fourteen years and I know them. They all work hard. And they all give their best. I know because I've seen it. And they deserve better than to be slandered by someone (you) who can't even imagine the difficult decisions they make, or the responsibilities they face, daily. Do what you want. Tear your union down. Criticize the leadership. Tell the members all the things you can do for them---with your magic wand. Jeff PS You keep misspelling "incumbant." It should be "incumbent."

Response: Do you even know any of the elected officers? Have you ever been to one of their houses? NO! Spent some time fishing with them? NO! Gone to a ball game with them? NO! Have you ever even said anything nice about them? YES! How does he get all this free time to visit, fish and go to a game when the membership that votes them in are not invited to know them. There are too busy brown nosing each other to worry about the memberships wants and needs~ Joe Bays
