A disturbing undercurrent in the ongoing debate over ASA's White Paper is a growing polarization that seems to be developing among wholesalers. Divisiveness between whole-salers - big vs. small or industrial PVF vs. PHC - is the least desirable byproduct that a restructuring of the American Supply Association could create.
Much of the feedback we've received indicates that smaller wholesalers fear that a stronger national association will lose sight of their needs. They see the White Paper as a vehicle for larger distributors to recast ASA in their own image.
