NUM Demands Apology from President Elect PBrunsel

An Open Letter to President Elect PBrunsel

Mr PBrunsel; in the Presidental Debate you described the Labour Movement as a "Special Interest".

We are appalled by this slur on our good name and demand you apologise

I would urge the President-elect NOT to apologize to this ridiculous claim.

Why's it a ridiculous claim?
Not trying to stir up trouble between the new Administration and the Labour Movement are you?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I would suggest Mr. President-elect that you DO NOT apologize for this statement. This is nothing more than a partisan ploy.

No it isn't. I am standing up for the Workers of This Atlas who have been insulted by that unfair, misleading and innacurate remark.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

If it meant so much to you than why have you waited so long to bring it up?

Check out the resolutions of the I NUM Conference. I couldn't ask for an apology earlier, as it would have unfairly influenced the election.

I agree with PBrunsel though. Labor (or Labour) Unions are special intrests inasmuch as they put forth their intrests in government and wrangle politicians to side with what they think is the right policy. They are no different from the NRA or the Trial Lawyers. They are all special intrest.

Because it's an unfair and hurtful insult to the people that make the Atlas tick

The NASUWT condemns this manouver by the NUM as disingenuous at best and barracking at worst.

The NUM is pleased to find that it is acting like the real NUM did :-)
