In case it isn't clear I'll clarify that I hate unions and don't understand anyone giving them any time of day. If Dee4L announced that they'd brought someone from a union negotiating background in to speak to JN on their behalf I'd immediately cancel my membership.
I am still not convinced that listening to someone who has made an offer to help the cause, and has a different skill set from the current board, ois a bad idea.
I understand your principled objection. I just disagree with it.
