Bargain demands

What is the difference between the Having A Voice In Our Contract HAVOC and now designating October’s monthly meeting as a contract-demands meeting. One can only conclude the HAVOC survey, the HAVOC survey shop gates, the HAVOC buttons, the HAVOC flyers were a waste of the membership funds.

We recall the ‘HAVOC take away point - whatever the outcome of negotiations and the contract, the future of TWU is brightest when the most members are involved. The survey is the first step towards involving getting members involved in the contract fight.’ the so called HAVOC survey result bar chart. It appears all those HAVOC did not help but rather tried to pacify the membership - were those HAVOC just a mere deception from John E Samuelsen. There is this enormous gulf between what he says and what he is doing - it’s amazing that he is incapable of admitting that he is wrong for once.

We will ask him again was it wrong for him to claim that ‘the future of TWU is brightest’. Possibly now he wants to weasel out of the membership response in the HAVOC survey with another diversion as designating the October monthly meeting as a month of bargain and demands - it is obviously to spend membership dues. He should help the membership but what do you expect from the incompetent leadership skills. One wonders what Samuelsen’s view is from the bunker where his schemes are operating. However, on the ground the membership have eloquently responded - the Havoc survey result bar chart proves it. His leadership reveals a total lack of coherent strategy - possibly giving a false hope to the membership. We would say implement the HAVOC survey result first so as to have a real impact before talking about the next idea. Isn't his leadership running around like headless chickens with initiative after initiative that never gets implemented and isn't this combination of ineffectiveness and hyperactivity the worst combination of all.
