Looks Like Members From Stations are Forgotten

161

161 TWU Local 100 members from the station department who were laid off in 2010 have not been recalled - what is John E Samuelsen president of TWU Local 100 Take Backward Our Union - TBOU doing for them we wonder. Maybe since they are out of his sight they are out of his mind - so he can enjoy his vacation while they have to sweat out the summer without work.

We here in why did you join the union wish John E Samuelsen secures the recall for those 161 members - we do not know what he is waiting for. Maybe in John E Samuelsen’s mind that is not a pressing matter that may take long since he is the president of TWU Local 100 - Take Backward Our Union - TBOU. However we here in why did you join the union are not going to forget our 161 brethren - we are not going to accept any excuses. It is clear he cannot steer TWU Local 100 properly in a direction to get the 161 back to work. We will resist his deviations from the proper course till all of 161 are back on their jobs. There is no sense for John E Samuelsen to enjoy his vacation while our brethren of 161 are without jobs. We know of John E Samuelsen cronies that will come out of the wood work to defend him. They will say: first, that he has a right to his vacation second, he owes his family vacation time third, there is nothing he can do.

We here in why did you join the union say then that the solidarity is dead - it is a meaningless word that John E Samuelsen throws around whenever he feels like. In addition to his rhetoric ‘I am my brothers keeper’ now it is obvious that those are just empty rhetoric - we are getting nowhere. We are prepared to forget many of his bad decisions however we need action.
