As a FSC clerk in TULE I wanted to see what the feeling was on this board about the recent election. I knew this was going to stir some people up. I have known Sam for several years. He is sharp guy, very qualified and competent to lead 514. Give the guy a chance and get to know him before rushing to judgement. As a 22 year employee with over 15 here at TULE I have seen what the majority has elected in the past. Nothing to brag about. WE are in much worse position today than ever before. It is due to many things not just who is at the helm of the local. WE have become divided over the years. WE have let the company take and take while WE turn on each other. WE are to blame for not being able to stand together in concert to send our message. So if WE continue down this road of seperation WE all lose!! I have been in Title I, III, and IV over the years and made many friends along the way. I owe Sam a congrats and a apology. I told him I thought there was no chance in hell that Title I would vote in a FSC to lead the local. I mean there are only 80 or so of us at TULE. He never waivered and stayed the course with just old fashioned hand shakes and getting in front of the people. He pulled off the unbelievable. I believe that shows alot about the man and his character. So weather he holds a A&P or not, I hope that WE can stand together to pull off the unbelievable comeback.
