Re: BST SE Tentative Contract - Eliminating WRAs versus Exchange

The Elliott letter clearly points out downfalls and has valid points. According to the WSJ, they have until Jan to decide. If the current leadership doesn't right the ship, odds are this will occur and it will be nasty.
Why JD left
This is coming from pretty high from a source I trust..not that it's a huge revelation. But JD quit because he knew Stankey was taking over, and he really doesn't care for Stankey one bit. This is just because some of the other choices - that he... — read more
