You all need to stop and think who the real problem is in negotiations!!!
At every turn Bob and his followers were constantly going around the rest of the negotiators and going straight to the company and telling them not to listen to the rest. Bob and his followers were bad mouthing AA and the International on a regular basis. If you want to blame somebody, you need to blame these few negotiators who don’t know how to keep their mouth shut and respect the process!!! The process was discussed and agreed with by the Negotiators, Bob and his followers should have respect it!!!
Bob and his followers are constantly destroying our profession and have been in the minority on just about every thing they have pursued!! Whether it was supporting the many different associations or attempting to negotiate with AA by circumventing the process!!!
If you are so unhappy here at AA then quit and go someplace that you will be happy with!!!!
The membership has spoken and you all should respect their wishes and stop trying to cram your agendas down our throats!!!
I firmly believe Bob and his followers have cost this membership dearly!!!! If the negotiators would have spoken as one! I believe we would have come out with a better contract!!
Bob and his cult (kool-aid drinkers) do not have a clue how to negotiate, But Hey!! They are great at destroying our profession here at AA!!!!
