Mr. Luke, I mean Mr. Aisle, I mean Mr. Walker.
If you have to try to convince yourself that you are right by telling yourself you are, maybe you are wrong.
Regardless, (since irregardless is not a word) dignity makes a lot of sense even though you may describe her writings as allegories. I say, Dignity, we don't have enough to paper the world. Write on!!
Mr. BT
Mr BT,
Apparently, despite your posts to the contrary, you haven't actually READ the letters on the NMB website. There is overwhelming support for the proposed change. I don't have to "convince myself" that I am right. Plenty agree with me as over 5,000 comments from individuals were received in favor of this change.
A total of 230 members of the U.S. Congress also support this change.
Support has also come from Professor Ray Marshall of the University of Texas School of Public Affairs. Ray Marshal was also the Secretary of Labor under President Jimmy Carter.
Dr. Kate Brofenbrenner also supports the proposed change. She has conducted a study of elections under the current voting process and her studies clearly show that management interference is present in a majority of union elections because of this archaic voting method.
Dr. Kate Brofenbrenner is the Director of Labor Education Studies at Cornell University.
In addition, the following scholars, per their comments on the NMB's site join me in agreeing this is the fairest way to handle RLA elections:
