Don't let 700 fool you. When I ran a trace on his whereabouts, I found him on the LM2's getting compensated. After he originally denied it, he finally admitted but then he disappeared from any LM2's that I know of. Doesn't mean he doesn't get paid. Much of this stuff of paying organizers and other covert agents will fall under and be buried under 'representational items' that are just general terms. For instance, Wes Fredrickson has been out organizing JetBlue for years but you can't find him under any LM2 because he isn't classified as an employee or officer. Locals tend to bury these cost under 'representational activities'. No big deal, but don't let 700 fool you. He is either getting paid to spend hours of his day on social media [FB, here, and other chat rooms he circuits] or he is a complete moron who waste all of his time on social media when he should be enjoying his life in other ways.A real job? So the people working at the IAM have what? Phony baloney jobs?
I will admit, I don't know which it is because if someone doesn't have a life, then 700 may be telling the truth that he enjoys spending 10-15 hours a day putting out flames and being the #1 Pollyanna for the I Am Management Labor Organization. But, my opinion is that he is still getting paid since I don't really know anyone that stupid to spend hours a day apologizing for such a worthless organization. Dunno.
