Ground Rules for Commentary.

We welcome your views, ESPECIALLY views that differ from conventional wisdom. People learn more from their skeptics than from their devotees and, as in structural engineering, the weakest point of a structural member can only be determined by applying stress to that member.

This is a moderated blog in which the comments are reviewed prior to their posting. This has the benefit of filtering out "spambots" which post, oftentimes, objectionable advertising. It further has the benefit of filtering out ad hominem attacks on individuals rather than policies.

Vitriolic personal harangues will not be posted. If there exists a policy that is adversarial to the Chapter Membership or CCPOA in general, then it is the policy which may be attacked. While it is understandable that you may be frustrated with a known dump-truck, chronically spewing bad policy, it is the policy which must be addressed if it is ever to be corrected. Since this is not a private blog, we must operate within the framework of the highest standards of CCPOA.

Members of the general public may post here (as a practical matter) and, hopefully, their commentary may provide a fresh "Outside of the Box" perspective.

NO PROFANITY PLEASE.

Every Friday there will be posted a "Membership Concerns" section for Chino Chapter members to post ideas regarding issues which impact them. By posting these in the "Comments" section, issues that are not brought to the attention of the local Job Stewards may be addressed.
