Bob, you are totally in the dark.
There are over 500,000 IAM members, 24 individuals acted upon their own with no direction from the International or District.
But you would rather distort the facts since you don't know exactly what happened and make them worse since you hate unions especially the IAM.
The FACTS are not public knowledge yet. Are they??
700, you constantly post things as fact. Have you spoken to these individuals personally?? Did those higher ups you called take your advice?? Who are you really that you can pick up the phone and tell the higher ups what YOU want done??
I will believe the legal documents and statement that was filed to the NMB last week and NOTHING that you claim as fact unless you can prove it and this board is NOT the place to provide that proof.
Your blind trust, faith and support for the IAM is getting the best of you on this board. Others are posting their opinions and feelings. Come out in the real world for a while. NO ONE individual is perfect and NO ONE group is perfect. Support and defend when it's right. Admit when it's wrong. I know you have stated that it was wrong of those individuals to do what they allegedly did. But it's wrong of you to continue to say/believe that you are the only one to have any facts.....and just because you post it, doesn't make it a fact.
I personally am appalled at the recent actions. Never having been a member of the IAM, this incident sure doesn't and wouldn't drive me to becoming a member. And again, all unions have a past and none of them are squeeky clean. But I am living in the present and looking to my future. And it is NOT with the IAM.
The facts, the true and legally determined facts, will come out. Soon, hopefully.
