He would because this is not the first time you've come out with a public statement where you cast yourself in the role of the only honest man left in the process beset on all sides by conniving and obsequious reprobates who must be part of a Company/International/Government cabal, eager to sell their souls and their memberships out for their own private gain and to undermine your clearly more astute understanding of our problems and what is to be done about them.
Who in your Local would even know me?
Bob, that's just way on the high side of disingenuous. You know, and you know that I know that you know who in my Local would even know you.
Theres a good chance that Hopeful does know Gilboy.
Gilboy made a point of becoming known in our local. Mr Gilboy came to our Local, weeks before our elections campaigning for my opponent and criticizing our Stores Rep (who was also running for office on the same ticket as me).
Funny thing about that, Bob. The phone wires here were burning up with those allegations, but went stone cold when the request went out for someone to put a name to them so they could be openly and properly investigated. Sounds like more of the same kind of innuendo and crackpot conspiracy theorist nonsense that you put forward to explain why you were sent from the room last week.
You need to check your facts. Geo pay was part of the last "negotiations" until July of 2001, (2003 wasnt negotiations, it was a shakedown) I have the 2001 books if you want proof.
I will check on that and get back to you; however, it doesn't change the fact about how it survived as long as it did on this go around.
You claim that I've sad bad things about Gilboy, I dont see it that way.
I don't claim it, I proclaim it; you did and you were wrong, period. Of course you don't see it that way, to do so would require you to acknowledge that you were wrong, which you are apparently incapaable of doing.
You take offense to "company man", well thats how he was introduced to me back in 2000 or so by fellow 563 officers when all the new locals met in Dallas.
Aside from the fact that the above statement further detracts from the force of your rhetorical question above about the extent of your association with members of 563, it seems that this is a weak basis for such a strong, and wrong, opinion, given the attenuation of time and circumstances from from then to the present day, and the sense of certainty I'm feeling now about the identity of those "fellow" officers of ten years past, makes me chuckle, because they daily go about here chanelling the spirit of what you and your fellow travellers do on this forum.
