[QUOTE="Frankie's Friend, post: 3824771"] I don't know anything about any "underlying motives" that people say they have. There's a lot of political baggage involved in this union and navigating the terrain is hard to do if you've never seen a birds eye view of the map or know all the info associated with each local. The bottom line (for me) is this: Would TDU get traction or even exist if there wasnt valid disgruntlement in the rank and file? Probably not. After being in a local where stewards hadn't been trained for almost 20 yrs until lately...finally, members are screwed over in hearings, their hearings at the next level are dragged out several years, and various other garbage continues to go on about which i could fill this page with, members that want relief and have not been able to get it in local elections because they arent working in the largest voting block company, well, they often turn to other sources for help. Is life in the union ever going to be perfect? It's not perfect in the church. But when you pay for union representation and you feel that you get screwed over and over people react, organizations mobilize, and sometimes change occurs. TDU seems to thrive on that. Fix the issues of greed, power, and dishonesty and TDU will probably dissipate. There are good people who are valuable to the members and care about doing what is right by their coworkers. Without them this would be a dark and depressing place to work. [/QUOTE]
