Scroll down more BS. Bill Steinberg didn't see the handwriting on the  wall,
he was selling us down the river and that is why Rae Ecols
was fired because unknowing Steinberg was behind it, was
publicizing what Bill was hiding. At the time ROU was fighting to  keep
morse code as a requirement to get the all important FCC  license.
You too ignored my phone call and didn't publicize the morse code
issue, you were sure you was going to win and most likely Jim
Brown didn't know or didn't care about morse code. As far as the
greedy shipowners they wouldn't care if we were all top notch
electronic engineers, they would dump us in a minute and let
incompetent mates do our jobs for a bigger profit right now and
always, it's the nature of the beast.

Stanley,

Let me clear something up for you. My position during  the election was NOT 
shutting down the ARA. It was intended to PROTECT our  members that were 
brass pounders only. (I believe you were in that  category?)   With the 
arrival of GMDSS, even Steinberg saw the hand  writing on the wail., I believe 
his 
intent was to eliminate the code license  requirement in order to bring in 
competent electronic technicians, thus  presenting the companies with a 
reason to renew our contract.

What I  was advocating was to give the brass pounders the option to take an 
early and  full retirement. The pension plan at that time certainly had the 
assets to  accomplish this and, had I been elected I would have seen to it 
that these  members were fairly treated.  In addition we would have remained 
with the  MMP.   As you may (or may not) recall, I had an excellent   
relationship with Tim Brown, his full support during the election,  and  had 
his 
promise of full support of the ARA membership when negotiating with  the 
companies.

This would have been a win win for the entire ARA  membership  - including 
those that were not the competent technicians  required for the new GMDSS. 
environment.
