No teeth, no claws, poor vision, no stamina and over weight those are the signs of a loser in a fight and that is what happened to the rat at TWU Local 100 event of solidarity. He got deflated once the cat came and he turned to be a coward and a traitor who has no fight in him.
Our employer had its board meeting on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. As usual we assembled outside of our employer office without any clear intention, objective or goal. If our presence was to be a useful and meaningful tool for TWU Local 100 that was not at all portrayed by the current leadership.
If we take a step back and assess how the membership fared the rat got deflated and then after less than twenty minutes the membership started to disperse. Everyone had an important appointment and that's the sign of a troubled union those are the phonies of the TBOU slate. Clearly they can not stand the heat, just like the coward rat who could not stand up to the cat.
John Samuelsen may look good on the outside but in reality he is a fatally flawed president. He is part of the problem - not the solution. He and his TBOU slate members who were not in good standing and who did not pay the dues in a timely manner all had important appointments so they had to leave. In their view ‘we are not going to stand out here’.
We are gentlemen, we pride ourselves on telling the truth and we’re mad. What we want to know is whether this deception was intentional or not? our suspicion is that it has to be, because they are adults and not children. Determining if this is true should be the subject of an investigation. The questions that need to be asked are how much financial resources were employed in this wasted effort which the membership has a right to know, and why those toothless rats are abandoning the ship? They should be held accountable because you will find them infront of the cameras and during the photo opportunities.
A rabid infected poodle chimed in that ‘lack of preparation’ ‘the lack follow up pressure’ ‘no information’ the poodle could not stand the heat. Also they have mastered the art of the disappearing act. Do you believe Samuelsen will explain the abysmal performance? What we have turned into is a sub par and a troubled union.
To answer this on a gentlemanly level would be possibly too good for you. You have proven that by your posts you have no interest in this union or its members. What do you care about? Elections? Release time? Anarchy? Well from the stink of what you post you prove to be the proverbial empty can. Making a lot of noise but having no impact.
ReplyDeleteI have been a member of local 100 for almost 27 years and no President has done as much for my department as Mr. Samuelsen. No one. To accuse him of having no fight is just another way to say you are not paying attention or do not understand. (Which is even more troubling)
This Union under Samuelsen's leadership has become a democratic, members first, inclusive, representative Union.
What was promised by TBOU is a reality right now. How many past administrations delivered on their promises? Not too many by my count.
We have fought back with every means necessary, Political, community based activism, Federal bills, state bills, Rallies, mobilization, public hearings, unprecedented emphasis on safety inspections etc. But I do not expect you to admit that because of your agenda.
Did you check out just who was at the MTA board meeting? Transportation leaders from around the world: Brazil, Greece, Portugal, UK, Australia, Venezuela were there supporting the TWU, when can you say that has ever happened before? This Union is moving forward despite the worst MTA attacks in our History. You are moving backwards.
I have some questions of you: where have YOU and your cronies been during these attacks? INVISIBLE.
Didn't see you at Walder's house or at the public hearings or at lobby day or at anything else.
Good question is where have you been? What have you done? Likely answer is zero.
This blog is titled why did you join the union? The answer to that is not an open invitation to bash the Union but to try to get people working together to move the Union forward. You are failing miserably on all accounts. I will give you some good advice: work hard at being a good member, support your Union, discuss option, come up with solutions: that is the way you can influence people and make real progress. And remember the members know: they are not stupid at all, they can see through the nonsense. Remember it is always easier to tear something down than to build it up, but building it up is much more rewarding.
I will not use a pen name: I am not afraid: Paul Piazza Stations.
