Name - J.C Email - No Email Date -- Monday, 15 July 2002, at 11:25 p.m. From - Memphis I am a employee of MLGW for some 27+ years. I am glad to see the union leadership getting along. I am really proud to have Rick and J.D as the top leaders of the union. The one time I hope to see before I retire is for the union to lobby to the Mayor and City Council to bring someone from the outside in as President. This is the only way the employees May get fairness. The way the union is presently ran, I am proud to be a IBEW member. Thanks Rick and J.D.

This wrong doing has been going on for years. The treatment in the water department is almost as bad. A president from the the outside may be our only hope. Rick you and J.D need to lobby the Mayor and council for a president from outside of memphis. the only hope. Rick you and J.D need to ask the council for help. lobby the city council help.
