Dear Mark
I had been interested in reading this account, but so far you seem to have been totally determined, in advance, to find all that is negative. And only that. When you find this difficult (and obviously there is a lot going on) then you just fall back on being snide.
For your own sake, and for the union's, why don't you report on what is happening openly and honestly? Not about how angry it makes you feel, but about what it IS.
I'm not on either side in this conference; in fact I would argue that the perception of "sides" is an illusion. But if we are going to have a democratic union then it requires people -- you, no less than anybody else -- to start from a position of good faith.
If you choose to reply to this, please do not do so by attacking the union. That would just be weird.
