Oh the irony...
As for spending time with GLC crews, I have put in the time G4. I've done that legwork since '04. Trust me when I say there were a lot of FO's then that didn't support your views and between them the fence post and I welcomed a union on the I side. Now I know times have changed and the fair haired children upgraded nearly every swinging richard on property but I somehow don't think all those attitudes have changed that much. I'm sure some but not all. Have you put your time in with the "crazies"? Might be time to get out of your own echo chamber eh?
The reality of it us if you don't like the tone and direction of YOUR Union, then by all means throw your hat in the ring and get in there and change it. If this came to pass, I'd have to look at it with a very critical eye in light of some of the rhetoric you've espoused on here.
Fair enough, Hogprint.
