[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3923858, member: 14176"] How late are they open....and will they give me a copy, or will they only let me read it under supervision? Can I take notes, or will they confiscate my cell phone at the door? My Local holds their meetings on the first Thursday of every month, at 7pm. I typically make about 5 of the 9 meetings (we go "dark" June, July, and August). I only make those because the Hall is less than 2 miles from my Hub. The rest of the Local draws from about a 50 mile radius, encompassing 6 UPS facilities, partly explaining why we usually have less than 50 members out of 5,000 in attendance. In November I got there at 7:15 and the meeting had already adjourned, explaining why nobody cares to attend. Miss 15 minutes and you miss a month....#nocontentbydesign Yes, that's exactly what I expect in 2019 for $90+ a month.... What do you have to hide??? No, we don't have enough "locker room lawyers". Another name for them would be "engaged members", which seems like exactly what the IBT doesn't want? If they existed in bigger numbers, they would ask questions, vote in sufficient numbers, and hold "Big Union Guys" accountable. Instead, the mantra is "don't ask questions, get back in line, and trust blindly". No thanks. ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
