Hi all... please everyone...I did not start this thread to become a war ground. First I need to explain something to all... I ran a 530 bed building for quit sometime. I was a key player in an organization that has more than 5000 employees. I sat at the board and never in my life did I allow my emotion to rule my thinking when it 1. comes to money, or 2. when it effected the people who worked for me and with me. I have always treated everyone I worked with, with the up most respect and care. Never underestimate me and what is thought of as kindness. Kindness does not equate to weakness or foolishness, not in my case for sure. I know when I hear an emotional response and I don't make decisions based on judgemental or emotional responses. I do however, make decisions based on clear and rational, well thought out statements made from experience and education. In the case of 1171, I believe what you said has a lot of truth on what is happening in this case, however, what you don't know is our lawyer is the lawyer who commands the respect of the federal law makers when he lead the fight for workers being affected by asbestos on the navy shipyard in Philly. That happened several years ago, so he does know what he is doing and he is very compentent, however, I do believe there is something about being overworked which comes into play here. So I really appreciated your statements and kindness to answer and respond to my post. I also recognize where Still is coming from in his post.

I am not one of his..what did you say... women gang..or something like that, but I am a women who has a lot of respect for Still and I didn't have a lot for you until recently because I saw you start to attempt to be more forthcoming and understanding in your post. I was an officer, so believe me when I tell you you can not hand out anything in words or behavior that would cause me to feel less than. I feel you have a right to your opinion about me or anyone else, however, so do I. I may avoid you becasue I don't need it in my life right now, but never would I disrespect you or say anything to you to make you feel that you are less than. I believe that you are doing a great service here and that you are needed therefore, do not believe that I want you or anyone to leave, I do not. Best wishes 1171 and thank you for helping with this thread. Please everyone, let it close and go to bed now... no reason continue to talk about this. Still and 1171 are going their separate ways, let it happen and continue to do what we are suppose to do here and that is to help people seeking answers and support when they find themselves in this mess of a system called W/C. Again 1171 thank you for you insight and your response to my question. i do truly appreciate it. And still as always I thank you for your response and your insight into my issues. You are a wealth of knowledge and insight when it comes to the IW and W/C system..thanks Red
