Why did you choose against any of those alternatives? 4) The reps didn’t tender their resignations and they weren't at the meeting to speak to the issue. Why are these being called “resignations”? Isn't this process a little strange? Did the reps have a right to know beforehand that their resignations were being imposed on them?
