[QUOTE="542thruNthru, post: 4317064, member: 48491"] I feel like we can only comment about what we see at our locals. You seem to hint about having a very corrupt local(or BA i'm not sure) usually. Personally I find a majority of members have no idea who their local is other than their BA and sometimes not even that person. Yes I agree a Steward is the face of the local to many members but again... They still have to volunteer and we are talking about apathy. Try how? How do we recruit the good stewards? And then how do we get people to vote? Yes a strong local helps but again I feel like we are just saying "to get people to vote we need a strong local and stewards" ok.. but only, I think 6 locals got over 60% and half of those had less than 30 members in their local. The other half voted a strong yes vote. In my experience most members don't care about anything until it effects them. Most don't feel the contract does effect them as long as they got their raise. Our stewards pay dues as well. How do you see there's no perks? Many people get on here saying how stewards get everything they want as long as they play ball. I completely agree with you about what makes a good steward. All I'm saying is it's way more complicated than people like to admit to get people to vote. Most just don't care. [/QUOTE]
