There is a rumor circulating that COAF was recently formed by the Union to push their own agenda and effort, and that we are nothing more than a puppet for the Union. Well , this is far from true. In fact, it is an outright LIE.
The Coalition of Alzheimer's Families formed approximately two and a half years ago, and we have documentation that substantiates this claim. Or ask any employee of the facility employed for that period or longer, they will inform you of the truth.
Mr. Ross Marcus, and Mr. Granda can also attest to that fact as they attended meetings with the group approximately two years ago, long before there was public talk of selling Gracedale.
Who else? Well Mr. Bruce Gilbert can attest to the fact that the Coalition existed before he was elected, because he attended a private campaign meeting at a COAF members home to discuss concerns the Coalition had before his election.
Also, all on CC present during a plaque presentation made by the Coalition to Diane Neiper know that we existed before, Mr. Angle himself accepted the plaque on behalf of Mrs. Neiper, (former council woman who assisted us with some concerns).
We find it very intriguing that we are seen by our opposition as being used by the Union, and not as using the Union. Interesting, perhaps those of you who are spreading these rumors should stop underestimating us.
We feel that what all should know as truth is that the Union and COAF have similar goals, and so working together toward our goals seems to us at least, to be a good idea.
This has been brought up by YOGI OBEAR in his LVR blog. These types of things take on a life of their own. It's like FOX news
ReplyDelete"if you tell a lie enough times
it becomes true"
Don't let him and his foriegn legion of halfwits get to you. We all know who will be credited with the success of this endeavor. The union should be thankful someone did their job for them. And be shown the door for their efforts. And we all know as they know that you have had the patients welfare at the forefront of your efforts from the beginning. Thank you.
This looks like it's only about union jobs, nothing more, nothing less. Your own people are recruiting others by saying so.
ReplyDeleteThis issue is about giving the tax payers who actually own Gracedale, the opportunity to decide whether or not to sell the property, instead of just seven people, who apparently have thier own agenda, and allowing democracy to work is not part of thier plan.
ReplyDeleteAs an Employee of Gracedale, I have known about the Coalition for at least 2 years. As far as this Union talk, I would rather have a job at Gracedal without a union than not have a job there. I love this place, the residents, their families and my co-workers! I pay a lot of money for Union Dues every year, and I don't think it's worth it. I'm glad for the coalition, they are for us, and the people of Northampton County. Thank God for them!
