The Union president and his buddies are THE problem.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Union denied the right to vote on the final offer to its members, does the Union "respect" its own members? If that's how the Union is run, is it democratic at all?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;To the president of the Union: Sir, this is your own opinion (that the final offer is not so different from the previous to warrant another vote, etc.), not your members'. Let them vote and they'll tell you what their opinion is. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;To the City and the public: the way the union is run does not inspire any trust, let a third party closely monitor any vote!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7218149071529011844/1804844163828531346/comments/default/4189653865618838509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7218149071529011844/1804844163828531346/comments/default/4189653865618838509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.transitottawa.ca/2008/12/call-for-calm.html?showComment=1229392500000#c4189653865618838509' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.transitottawa.ca/2008/12/call-for-calm.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218149071529011844.post-1804844163828531346' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7218149071529011844/posts/default/1804844163828531346' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-950395545'/></entry></feed>
