Ahhh, Kristine Dillon, you’re “actually confused by (my) Dec. 19 letter.” You claim I “dramatically spoke of …” City Council’s union zealot and was “chastising him for representing ‘union masters’ and NOT representing the people who live and work right here in our Gilroy community.”
Wrong wording, Kristine Dillon: “the people who live and work right here” is standard union-based drivel used by union drones throughout the past election. Your concern/support for the union zealot reflects one union drone/sympathizer trying to make the union zealot look interested in, and concerned toward, Gilroy’s growth/future. He doesn’t! He has only union goals in mind – regardless of how destructive/disruptive they’ll be against Gilroy.
Admit it, Kristine Dillon, you weren’t confused. You stated my views so clearly. This union-owned/directed zealot has done nothing but support/promote out-of-Gilroy union efforts to insert their demands onto Gilroy citizens.
You list the union zealot’s “modest proposal” toward communicating with non-unionized Wal-Mart and state “my interpretation … is that each is directly concerned with the workers and people of this community.”
Read the items again, Kristine Dillon. Each is what business calls “corporate policy” – the way a firm conducts its daily operations. It’s the union zealot’s arrogance that makes him abuse his union-paid-for council position to presume to dictate to Wal-Mart how they’ll run their business.
Enlighten me, Kristine Dillon. Why hasn’t the Council’s union zealot made similar ‘modest proposals’ to Costco or Target? The obvious reason: those firms are already tainted with the union’s stench. Wal-Mart isn’t.
You showed, Kristine Dillon, one excellent insight: “Only the workers of Wal-Mart can organize and attempt to unionize.’ If, and only when, the workers at Wal-Mart determine their working environment needs o change, can any change begin.”
You’re right! Now tell the union zealot, whom you support, to repeat that 1,000 times or until he understands it – then suggest he and his union masters stop trying to intimdate/bully/threaten/coerce/cajole Wal-Mart into accepting what the unions demands – control of Wal-Mart!
Don’t downplay efforts by outside-Gilroy unions to buy control of City Council, Kristine Dillon, nor prattle their latest shuck -and-jive (shuck – … something of little value … ‘Jive – … glib, deceptive or foolish talk …) by saying: “(The union zealot), with his meager union campaign donation …”
In the U.S. Presidential race, $12,000+ would certainly be a “meager union campaign donation.” In the Gilroy City Council election, it provided enough outside-of-Gilroy prepared/produced campaign literature, telephone banks, paid ‘volunteers’, in the last week to give an blatant and dishonest edge, and Council seat to, the union’s zealot.
You say, Kristine Dillon, “(the union zealot)… has no control or power over this process (Wal-Mart unionization).” What makes him so pathetic: He thinks he has … and he abuses his Council position to pay back his union masters trying to force union nonsense onto Wal-Mart’s daily operations/activities at the expense of all Gilroy.
Your last paragraph is pure union shuck-and-jive. It shows how desperate the unions must be when they use someone as observant and intelligent as yourself, Kristine Dillon, to seek to give respectability and nobility-of-purpose to a council member whose conduct is committed not toward a better and richer Gilroy but to a continual assault on those businesses and activities his union masters seek to control.
Why do you find that so hard to understand, Kristine Dillon?
