It's happened again, folks. I've been poking the bear, trying to get my local branch in compliance with its own bylaws, and with the NALC Constitution. The result is that I have been removed from my position as an alternate steward at my station. The branch president is claiming that alternate steward are AUTOMATICALLY removed from their positions when new officers take their positions, but of course, there's nothing to that effect in our bylaws or in the Constitution. The reality is, the president has exercised his authority to remove me. And, of course, I'm fighting back. My lifelong friend Rich joins me in studio to talk about what happened, and how we plan to handle it.
