Region 6 Vice-President Sue Brown made the following suggestion to delegates in her speech to delegates on March 12th:
"Now is not the time for change."
At least one delegate took her at her word. He wrote to Sue thanking her for supporting incumbents including, of course, current OPSEU President, Smokey Thomas.
Oops!! No No No. That was not at all what Sue Brown had in mind. She wanted incumbent support exclusively for herself and her pal, fellow board member Jen Giroux. Okay - we know sometimes politics is about situational truths. But here is where it gets weird.
Vice-Prez Brown has demanded an apology from the delegate who was perceptive enough to hold her to her call to support the incumbents!! Our Sue says her words were taken out of context! Let's get this straight..... You make a statement. Someone relies on it as true. Then, when you want to renege, you demand an apology from the person for holding you to your truth.
Monty Python would be proud.
Solidarity
