Larry Cohen was/is a weasel who never worked for the phone company. Never liked him even when he was COPE director.

This is just more bullshit that does nothing to help the union. Idealistic bullshit.

It was the higher ups there that made the decision, unlike CWA and the Nurses.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
