I have declared my personal endorsement for NATCA President.
I firmly believe that Paul is the best choice for Newark Tower, the Eastern Region and our Union as a whole. I've worked with Paul over the past few years during our battles on the Hill over our contract and other FAA abuses and I've also gone to Paul for advice in dealing with the host of local management problems we've had at EWR. Paul is a rock solid union man who believes that our members deserve the best pay and working conditions that NATCA can get. He also knows how to handle managers who are power tripping. I guarantee that Paul won't forget who did this to us.......
I will say that I've also worked with Ruth Marlin in the past. I won't speak harshly about Ruth as she is an intelligent and hard-working NATCAvist, but she is not the right person for the job of NATCA President.
Only Paul Rinaldi has the experience, vision, passion and determination to guide our union through this transitional time in its history. Paul has done it all. He has been a FACREP, legislative activist, arbitration advocate and Executive Vice President of our union. While Ruth Marlin is a competent individual, she is not as well qualified as Paul Rinaldi.
In my time of need, when Newark Air Traffic Manager Ed Masterson and his cronies were hell bent on firing me and took every shot they could, Paul Rinaldi stepped up to protect me. Paul proposed to the NATCA Executive Board that if FAA should fire me, NATCA would hire me to work at the national level and on Capitol Hill. The proposal passed the Board and is now on the books.
Paul stood up for me in my time of need and he would do the same for you.
I'm asking you to stand up for Paul!
VOTE FOR PAUL RINALDI in the runoff election. Our union deserves the best and most qualified President.
Fraternally,
Ray Adams
NATCA EWR President
