The process where the board gets the same voting power as membership and WFP is transparent about neither total?

Gonna need a harder sell on that one.
This breeds distrust, @WorkingFamilies
All this preening and bluster to distract from fact none of these people can elaborate an explicit defense of @WorkingFamilies keeping the vote totals private.
"People familiar with..." Is the cheapest phrase in political journalism.

If it's true Warren did well in the member vote then they should publicize the tally, for Warren's sake if nobody else's. Anything else reeks of sulphur.

Anyone who says these fights aren't worth having is auditioning to be your manager.

So depending upon how upset I cont to get over the @WorkingFamilies endorsement & folks like @MauriceWFP lying through their teeth, I'm going to disclose things from the time that I work there that are embarrassing for them. Please RT!

WFP UNION BUSTED canvass staff in 2011/12
We even hosted one of the meetings at the apartment that I lived at at the time where all five of us were staff...

When mgmt got wind, one of us was there. Reportedly they laughed, said "that's not gonna be a problem soon" next month they dispersed us across the country.
@SEIU was running a campaign called fight for a fair economy in the wake of Occupy Wall Street. They provided money to @WorkingFamilies who then supplied organizers.

So let's review: WFP use Union money to Union bust, by killing the organizing effort and spreading out staff.

The @EirGrid acquisition gave rise to concerns as to whether consumers in Northern Ireland, would continue to be protected, and would not be disadvantaged by the change in control of @soni_ltd. I and others have been calling for this call for evidence by @UREGNI and support it .
@soni_ltd was required by Condition 24 of its System Operator Licence, @EirGrid was required by Condition 4 in Sections B and C of its System Operator Licence, by 1 October 2007 to enter into a System Operator Agreement & thereafter to comply with and maintain.Has this happened?
The background to the agreement between @soni_ltd & @EirGrid was to ensure that each TSO could carry on on a continuous basis fulfilling its separate and specific roll as stated in its licence

With regards to the EU's sham of a democracy

I wondered if mathematics had been used to evidence the deficit and came across this
"The UK's first-pass-the-post system also fails to bring the same voting power to each citizen, but one key point to consider is that the variation in constituency population size is on a much smaller scale, and the election is 100% influenced by the interests of British people"
"We have no reason to magnify our representation deficit by a factor of hundreds by exposing ourself to a flawed external system, of which we have only 10% power to reform."

The professional politicians have done an excellent job of splitting up the issues to keep the citizens fighting with each other so we don’t focus on the fact that they are the problem, not us.
The professional wrestling promoters know that good fighting evil and prompting the audience to be involved in the action will keep people engaged. Our career politicians know it, too.

Without a crisis to engage the public, the career politician is less significant.

#TermLimits
#ManufacturedCrisis are common in politics - They provide another more sinister advantage to the professional politician: misdirection and sleight of hand.

Both sides do it

They do it because there are no #TermLimits

#WeThePeople can put an end to it

1. Refreshing to see President #Trump taking a wrecking ball to the global order. It's long past the time - and the EU should pay for its vanity and hypocrisy. It wants all the status but none of the responsibility.
2. Our narcissistic leaders sign up to ever more virtue signalling treaties and green conventions with zero idea of how to implement them or what it will cost us - failing to listen to the experts and now Europe is buying gas from Russia to keep the lights on.
3. Quite rightly Trump doesn't see why US taxpayers should underwrite this folly as Germany fails to meet its NATO spending obligations and has a clapped out air force full of ancient unserviceable Tornados - all the while the EU provokes many of the security crises we face.

#Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné: [#Trump's] announcement on #Iran clearly is pushing the price up. And I would not be surprised to see $100 per barrel in the coming months because, clearly, you will have some impacts. 
#Oil #IranDeal
csis.org/analysis/conve…
#Pouyanné: we know we are back to the situation we were before the 2016 agreement, and in the meantime #Iran has grown its exportation by 1 million barrel(s) per day. So this 1 million barrel(s) per day is in question today.
#IranDeal
#Total CEO Pouyanné: We have decided to look to that project in Iran because of the #JCPOA, which means end of secondary sanctions. As soon as the U.S. decide to put back in place the secondary sanctions, there is no possibility for us to be a major company, a global company.
