NUTCB: Many Email Fails Tue, August 25, 2015 And so while Ray Davis was removed for non performance - it really comes down to an issue of email protocol - or a lack thereof. Things came to a head because the NTUCB believes that Davis bailed on a Senate meeting - and never told anyone, leaving the unions in the lurch. But in fact he did send this email weeks before the meeting - both to the President of the NTUCB and the General Secretary. Except none of them got it. That e-mail fail is what ultimately triggered the campaign to resolutely deal with Davis. So it's ironic that even as the union sent him off - there was another email fail - this one of epic proportions. On Saturday evening at 5:30, General Secretary Rebecca Suazo sent out the email with the minutes of the meeting held earlier that day. She sent it to her NTUCB mailing list - including ex-Senator Davis. It shows who brought the motion to questions Davis's performance and shows who seconded it - and how the vote went: 18 not satisfied, 6 satisfied, 1 abstention. It's awkward, but it's also very bad form - kind of like finding out you got fired in a mass email - before getting a letter of termination. And two hours later, President Marvin Mora sent an email scolding Suazo, saying, quote, "your email below was directed at the NTUCB, and not to brother Davis even though you coped this letter to him." He concludes wearily, "this defeats the purpose of ensuring that Davis be written as a matter of urgency while trying to avoid him from getting it form a third party." Well, that's just what happened - which, from our knowledge of the entire Davis debacle, is sort of symptomatic of the frequent email fails in the NTUCB.
