Lobby day flyer

The Lobby day flyer with the picture of John Samuelsen super sized while it is hard to recognize any member of TWU Local 100 without a microscope shows a message that that the members are not equal to Samuelsen. That is completely opposite to the concept and idea that ‘all men are created equal’ with equal rights, equal protection and equal employment rights. Thus giving himself the extra privilege goes against any blue collar labor principles, even the scriptures say ‘for ye all the children of god’ implying equality.
We beg to differ that John Samuelsen is just another member of TWU Local. He has one vote with full benefit of the TWU Constitution like any other member. Why would they super impose his picture over the rest of the membership? One wonders why - what has he accomplished since taking office of the presidency rather than having over 1000 members laid off under his feet.
The problem is we live in an era when it is a norm to super size up to John Samuelsen without really taking a step back and finding what is really going on. There are many members who would kiss up to him to seek something or some kind of favor. We are all equal for the sake of unity therefore his picture should be the same size as other members. 
To super impose Samuelsen’s image over other members is wrong. We wonder if those TBOU lackeys who do things like this know they are doing wrong or maybe they are out of touch. John Samuelsen is just like any other member he has one vote just like everyone else in the membership.
