We can all breath a little easier now

People I know and respect are telling me that they fear a 'return to the old way of doing things'.

When I press them as to how EXACTLY the 'old way of doing things' was bad I get no information.
( I was here during the old days)

Without specific examples there is no case against 'the old way of doing things'.

For example lets look at Jon Hunt. The big issue that was thrown against Jon is that he is a 'drunk'. There is absolutely no evidence to support that contention. Yes he got a DUI, big freaking deal. But Jon Hunt was out there on the front lines leading marches against the Trimet tyrants. He had the guts to go up against the chairman of the Trimet board of directors. 

Is Jon Hunt a dick sometimes? You better believe it! 

But the evidence clearly shows that Jon Hunt is a dedicated fighter for union members.

I hold no loyalties to this group or that group. My only loyalty is to myself and what I think is the best for myself.

After three years of Bruce Hansen and the way Bruce handled that last contract I wanted the old regime back.

They may have been somewhat tyrannical but those people are fighters and we union people need people willing to fight for us!

I was genuinely frightened of Bruce Hansen being the sole  authority who is responsible for signing agreements with the unethical  Randy Stedmen as outlined in this contract clause outlined in black.

I am much happier at the thought that it will be Shirley Block sitting across that table from Stedmen.
