Wow! I've seen biased blogging, but you take it to a new level! What incredible, elitist disdain for the 90% of delegates- most of whom are rank and file members- who aren't with your program! All these stupid, uniformed, "cool-aid" drinking janitors, homecare workers, nurses, etc- just blindly following Andy Stern wherever he leads them. And you call yourself an advocate of the working class? Seems like a little more respect for our opinions are in order before you claim that mantle.
And, since you're so down on staff serving serving as officers of unions...why not mention that so many of the "rank and file" UHW reformers who flooded to the mikes every chance they got were really paid staffers (their Administrative Vice Presidents-Borsos, Lewis, Goldstien, Rodiruez, etc who are all paid staff and automatic delegates). And since you're so opposed to scripting members-- what did you think about UHW VP and staffer John Borsos running with scripts behind the uhw members who got up to speak? And since you've got a problem with appointment of leaders...do you really think Sal Roselli would have had such an easy shot to be elected President of UHW if Andy Stern hadn't appointed him to that position when the union was first formed?
OK... so you've got a crush on uhw. You think they're the bees knees. We get it. But a little balance on the facts would go a long way to help your credibility.
