Sounds to me that someone was doing a lot of "Cathy-bashing" while you were away. Both David and I think you need to get the Union involved NOW! If you aren't comfortable with the local people, get in touch with Loren. If nothing else he can advise you off the record. He has become very knowledgeable about these things. You need to protect yourself. Take the fight to them don't wait to be ambushed. You have rights!
