Re: BST SE Tentative Contract - Eliminating WRAs versus Exchange

Why JD left
This is coming from pretty high from a source I trust..not that it's a huge revelation. But JD quit because he knew Stankey was taking over, and he really doesn't care for Stankey one bit. This is just because some of the other choices - that he... — read more
