roabilly,
Fair question. If I was not running for office, F/S agent with no union ties, experience or involvement. Basically apathetic to the whole election and related issues. I believe my opinion would be not supportive to wholesale change. I have known from the day I decided to run this was a challenge the opposing teams faced. To persuade members to turn from the status quo and vote for change is challenging in any election. In reference to the example in your question... the challege facing all three teams running in this election is getting the average IAM member out to vote. Fair question...honest answer.
ograc (aka cargo)
I hear yahh cargo...
You passed the diplomatic, tactful, and honest test. I only have one thing to add... most of the F/S agents I speak with are far from apathetic. They know full well of the ramifications of changing leadership, as well the consequences of not participating in the election process.
I think you will see a very profound statement in member participation in June... just as we had in 2008!
Never under estimate this membership... they have arisen to many challenges in the past, and they will arise to this challenge as well!
Everyone has chosen sides... the stage is set... may the best team WIN!
