General meeting once a month roughly 35 minutes away. Steward meeting once a week with our BA at our building. Steward workshop once a month at the hall 35 minutes away.

Depends if it’s on the weekend I have to drive an hour. If it’s before work I have to leave at least an hour earlier for work. If it’s after work I rarely get home before 9:30

3.5 hrs would be great. Ours is 6 hours away so yeah...not spending 12-14 hours of my Sunday going.

Well when you ride a donkey...

Have you asked your local for a more convenient meeting?? Our local has always responded to request for a closer meeting.

I actually messaged my BA last week about having a meeting and he never responded haha.

Nice edit.

Why meetings aren't live online is beyond me? Put up a web cam already.

THIS!!!! People could easily log in and watch the meeting to know what's going on. Hell, they could even do it from their phone while still at work if need be. The only tricky part would be talking. I imagine everyone would be muted until they choose to un-mute you or else it would chaos and no one would know who was talking.

What's a union meeting?

 

[Pickles]

Last union meeting I went to they told us Teamcare would be the exact same or better than the current insurance.

Never went to a meeting
I didn't get paid enough to go to Union Circle Jerks.

You would have been paid more at a non union job?
