This has gotten far beyond what it should be. We are sending emails, information packets and blog responses back and forth and all this does is perpetuate the situation . In hindsight there are probably many things that could have been done differently on all sides. The sad thing is that if we just took a step back we would realize is that there is no "your" side or "their" side, there is only our side. This issue is becoming an 800 lb. gorilla and polarizing the membership. I don't believe any of the candidates for any office is intent on hurting the union. We will never agree with everyone but we will have to, at times, put our personal opinions and differences aside to work for the good of the body. I imagine Admin is loving all the turmoil that this has caused. When this election is over, and for me it can't come soon enough, regardless of who is in what position we need to get back on track, work together, and provide a united front.
Humbly,
Rick Pennington
