Good Letter............If you are confused as to what this recall is all about, there are some things being hidden from you. Hummel, Bradford and Streble have demanded that the company (Allied) that is putting out the letters from the BPR that they are paying for have only Paul DiOrio's email address on it so that you will think these letters are just from him. In other words, if the other 8 reps put a letter out, it will still only have Paul DiOrio's email address on it.
This is done so you think that he is the only one that is pushing for this recall. Another in a long line of dirty tricks that are being played on you. It is done so you will be confused who is behind all of this and who is calling for the recall. Just so you know. All 9 Reps have voted for the recall.
Both the BPR and Gary are not supposed to send out campaign letters unless they pay for it themselves. But this week, you got just that from Gary Hummel but paid for by your dues. But that's not all, USAPA had hired a PR company to help with the MOU, instead, Gary used that PR firm to write that letter. Again, with your dues. Again, one set of rules for the BPR and another set that Gary makes up as he goes.
I read Mark King's attack letter. No where in the letter does he address the problems that Gary's secrecy has caused or his severe health problems. Instead, it is a personal attack that besides insulting Paul DiOrio's integrity, it also insults all other 8 Reps that also voted for the recall. As if those other 8 Reps don't have enough integrity, honesty and understanding of what is happening to decide on their own. King neglects to say that many of those Reps have watched how the BPR has been removed from any involvement of the negotiations and meetings and pleaded with Gary to be transparent and open about what he is doing and have met with no success. Their frustration is driving this recall.
You can read all these attack letters signed and unsigned (don't you just love the heroism of someone that writes an attack letter and doesn't sign it)? Don't just read the words, look at what is happening with your own eyes. Censorship of the entire BPR, forcing Allied to use only Paul DiOrio's email address, the secret meetings with the company that Gary admits to, the witnesses that tell you that he was secretly in touch with Scott Kirby, Gary's undermining of the previous administration, his severe health problems hidden from you, his efforts to stop the retro active pay raise, etc. I could go on and on. Mark King and some others can tell you what they think, but they can't change the facts, so they use personal attacks instead.
If you want secret negotiations, deals made without any input by you or the elected reps you voted for, if you want someone that ignores the USAPA Constitution, By-laws and UOM, than by all means vote to keep Gary. Because if you vote to keep Gary in office, you are telling him that you want secret meetings and secret deals. Votes matter. In this case, a vote to keep Gary in office is a vote of confidence in his leadership tactics.
In some ways, this is the ALPA-USAPA vote all over again. Do you want one person to make secret deals or an open and honest union to represent you. It's up to the pilots to decide.
RECALL HUMMEL NOW!!!!
