Dear Brother Stern,
This is to inform you that I am withdrawing my charges against Bruce
Boccardi and his Bring Back Our Union slate.
Since Brother Boccardi is taking office on June 23, 2009, during the worst
economic crisis in decades, he is going to need all of the help he can get if
he is to lead the local into protecting members’ jobs and defending their
standard of living. He is not able to both focus on our members and also
fight an internal management battle.
I am honored to have been able to lead this local and I thank you and Sister
Burger for all of your support. This job was never about power for me, it
was about helping our members. Keeping this fight going will not help our
members’ cause, so I thank you if you will please stop your appointment of
a hearing officer.
In Unity,
Susana Segat
President
