Bobby O Jr. and Mark Williams are going all out to make sure that Eric does not win the Vice-President election re-run.<\/p>\n
They are reinventing the procedure and allowing new candidates to run, candidates who did not run in the Spring 2014 Vice-President race.<\/p>\n
The last time Big Bob ordered an election re-run in Local 13, the procedure was to allow only\u00a0the candidates who ran in the original\u00a0race to participate in the re-run.<\/p>\n
This time Bobby O and Mark Williams are using the “what ever I feel like” procedure to open the re-run up to new candidates, and Bobby actually asked some members to run against Eric in an all out effort to see he does not win.<\/p>\n
Bobby O went so far as to recruit the other twin to run in place of his brother, who sadly and unexpectedly passed away right after the Spring election.<\/p>\n
Bobby O and Mark Williams\u00a0are allowing Mondo Porras to participate even though it was his violation of the rules that caused Big Bob to order the re-run. I am pretty sure if it was Eric that broke the rules, the decision to allow him to participate would have been different.<\/p>\n
Be that as it may, Local 13 will get the kind of Union Official they deserve.<\/p>\n
If the Local wants to continue to crumble under the weight of corrupt officials who lie to members, that is their choice.<\/p>\n
If the Local wants to continue down the path to defeat as outlined in the article by the UCLA\u00a0Center for Social Theory and Comparative History, that is their choice.<\/p>\n
If the Local wants to stand tall and feel proud, they should empower new leadership and start by electing Eric as Vice-President in the re-run.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, the Local 13 rank-and-file will get the kind of leadership they deserve.<\/p>\n
