Two days ago, a reader passed along a comment which the reader had overheard. It has now been confirmed. The comment was made by one of the Executive Board Members to her supporters: "We still have the Board."
Let's analyze that:
"We" - There is still a we-they mentality among the group that opposed Thomas and Rout.
"still" - Despite what the members voted overwhelmingly to support, "we" will act as before.
"have" - More votes than "they/Smokey" does at the Board level though not the delegates.
"the Board" - "We" can achieve our agenda (not the one Convention endorsed) that way.
I had hoped that work of the OPSEU_Insider blog was over. It's beginning to look more and more like that is not the reality, and reality is what this blog has been all about. Stay tuned.
