About a mile and a half....to attend your local union meetings?

We are lucky to get one union meeting a year here. Our BA covers a large area so we hardly ever see him.
But when we do have meetings it's about a 10 minute drive.
There is a general membership meeting every few months in a town about 3 1/2 hours away. I was referring to Ups union meetings with co workers and our BA.Your union hall doesn't have a meeting once a month? It might be far away but I'm sure they have one.

We have a union hall in town here, but the general meetings are in a town 3 1/2 hours away.I couldn't imagine my union hall being 3 1/2 hours away. That has to suck.
He probably knows how many miles to the nearest Young Socialist Party meeting!
3.5 hrs would be great. Ours is 6 hours away so yeah...not spending 12-14 hours of my Sunday going.I couldn't imagine my union hall being 3 1/2 hours away. That has to suck.

I only attended 2 Union meetings in 30 years. Our Local's monthly meeting was at 4:30 p.m. on the 3rd Thursday of the month (something like that). The chance of being able to attend one of those meeting was slim and none for the outstate guys. It was a 2 and a half hour drive one way. The two I did attend were special meetings held on a Saturday. On the other hand our Union Reps in Minneapolis visited us only at election time or when they were on a DRIVE campaign. I guess what I'm saying is if it wasn't for having good Union Stewards at work over the years we would have been screwed.
