[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3858767, member: 63706"] When people say "get involved", they generally mean go to union meetings, vote, maybe even run for office. But most people are clueless when it comes to a member's duty to hold elected officials accountable. It takes almost no effort to do the afore mentioned things, and, not surprisingly, they aren't generally effective. You start filing complaints with the local, IBT, or appropriate government agencies, and see how quickly things can change. Accountability is far more difficult, though, because it requires knowledge that isn't easily gained by the average union member. I am trying to share what I am learning as I go so other people will have an easier time accessing the information. I hope you are able to create the appropriate changes within your local, and get your coworkers more involved as well. I have been trying to do the same in my center, it ain't easy. [/QUOTE]
