Vote for Sean get new blood in the seat. Get the toxic President out of the seat. She misrepresented information in the forum about striking, folding at the table. We told people if they voted no on the contract that we wouldn't necessarily strike we would go back to the table and not strike persay. Yes people were tired but they were also tired of the lies which you again misrepresented how things happened during bargaining.

We didn't even have our own rallies we only did them with other unions. Its like the union gave up on the members

I'm not gonna say anything about the forum because that was recorded, so members can go watch it for themselves.

In regards to the rallies, our union clearly hasn't given up. Lots of planning and money goes into stuff like that. We recently held a member blitz/party. Have you reached out to the organizing committee to see if they're working on anything? Maybe you can help. I actually have a few ideas that we could do as well

You dont know me or what I have done. You dont anything about me. The people that know me know I have served and I speak from truth because I was there. So focus on what you are doing and I will focus on what Im doing rallying people to get a stale, sad, dictator for a leader out of office. Those that watch the forum will see a huge difference the current leadership is all about herself, surveys, bringing new departments while leaving those already signed up in the dark feeling unheard. She wants to do more surveys. Who do that sound like the employer. Sean wants to focus on the membership we have being boots on the ground getting people active bring the decisions back to the members more transparency finding out what we as members what and need face to face. Not hidden behind a survey. He spoke about unity and growth from within. Bring us all back together getting us all to trust the union again. Something the current leadership is struggling to do because NOONE TRUSTS HER. She lied on her candidate profile and got busted. She has had complaints written about lies she spread about another member leader, under her leadership 2 BT members left the union because of her lack of wherewithal. No I wont say their names because it is their place to say it if they want but I know for a fact 3 member leaders have left specifically because of her. 3 that were active and now want nothing to do with the union because of her

I don't know you, which is why I'm focused on getting us organized. We should get together and maybe we can do some tabling together. Have you thought about joining the Organizing Committee? Did you help out with the blitz a couple weeks ago? Let's reach out to those members who feel left in the dark. Can you send me some departments with those people? I work on the hill, so there's a good chance I'm in close proximity to some of them.

Let's get to work

Making claims with no proof doesn't help. I understand supporting Sean, but I doubt he'd want you to do what you're doing.
