[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 894788, member: 18708"] Yes, same in our local. Our stewards regularly violate the contract and make extra-contract agreements with the company and nothing can be done to stop it. Wish we could elect a different union to represent us, perhaps then representation and working conditions would improve. as of now I'm asking to sign waivers in any discipline meeting w/ management, denying representation, because our representatives are constantly selling out members and have only their interests in mind. I honestly think that we as hourlies are becoming better off without union representation - they're in the companies pocket and there is no changing it because the officials are not elected, but appointed. As an aside, the whole "right to work" laws are equally useless. More laws = less freedom. We need to eliminate all of the ridiculous laws and regulations that have been enacted, not add more. By eliminating the whole closed shop mentality and forced unionism you then don't need right to work laws. [/QUOTE]
