Rob,
I did read the article. Like about 10 minutes AFTER it was put up on HTH on site. I love the shallow minded need you would have to insinuate that I did not read the article.
I read the WHOLE article. From the first word to the last word. And I read it several times.
Now, as the CEO, President and Chairman of the Board of a Construction Company that was held personally liable for a Superintendent in Houston, TX who decided to take a company owned truck to a bar, get drunk and kill a family of four on his drive home, I will say that no matter what, the Clerk, and her direct superior are 100% to BLAME for everything.
If, as you contend, the Unions are this tough - the Clerk and the Chairman could have brought in much much bigger guns to prove their point – and get their goal, if there was any other goal excepting ego, arrogance and ignorance, accomplished.
I am not saying the workers are not AT FAULT. They are however, not the ones who need to be BLAMED.
I think the most important words in the HTH article are as follows:
“All along, she said everything was under control,” Nago said on Friday, “And we had no reason to believe it wasn’t.”
Sometimes being the “boss” has its privileges. Other times, it requires responsibility. I see not one elected or appointed official taking any responsibility here. Just trying to pass the buck of responsibility as to deflect any form of blame.
