[QUOTE="soberups, post: 731848, member: 14668"] A couple of questions.... Do you attend union meetings? Do you discuss your concerns with your shop steward or Business Agent? If you arent happy with the representation that you are paying for, would you be willing to step up to the plate and become a shop steward yourself? And do you truly feel that the harassment you are experiencing from the company would somehow go away if you quit the union entirely? A lot of people seem to view "the union" as some entity that, when summoned, should step in, wave a magic wand, and immediately resolve all issues to the member's complete satisfaction...all for the low, low price of only $75 a month. These people dont want to take the time to get involved themselves, they dont want to educate themselves about the contract or the grievance procedure, and they wont be troubled to vote for officers or business agents. All they want to do... is complain about the outcome of a process that they chose not to participate in. I'm not saying you are one of these people. I'm just wondering how willing you are to be part of the solution instead of the problem. [/QUOTE]
