[QUOTE="Red Dawn, post: 1013167, member: 20396"] My thing is this, the building is nice to look at for the hour or two it is used by the membership for the 10 meeting we will have this year. Is it worth the amount of money that was spent?... In my opinion hell no! It has not speed up the grievances or stopped the same grievances from having to filed over and over. It has not increased the membership. It has not produced new or improved stewards. It has not increased the memberships knowledge of the contract. It has NOT gotten my BA butt out on the shops floor. Nor given our BA the knowledge of details how ups works on the shop floor. It also did not give us any more representation. For that I say it was a waist of money. Island- I agree with your comment about safety. I see the same thing. Don't know if you know but at one of the "selected" members that was to come up with rule of the safety Committee works at your hub. Don't know how this guy got on. He was not at the meeting when local asked for volunteers to come up with the dos and don't of safety members. Nor was he at any of the yrs meetings. Think he came to 2 thus year. But anyways, I asked him what did the committee come up with he had no answer. Just you had to a union member and to follow article 18. Witch was put in place back in 08. So I'm lost on what we gave a round of applause at a meeting for there hard work. No disrespect to the others if the did do something but no one can tell me what are the requirements they came up with for safety members. Or what could get you removed. ( outside what was already in place). Far as the contract meeting I agree it should been held at the hall. And the could of used the big screen to displace what to write down. Instead of repeating it over and over. [/QUOTE]
