[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4186591, member: 63706"] The takeaway may be that, at least in your local, it's not just UPS employees who are apathetic. My question is what do those of us who are involved do to increase involvement? Elected officials don't seem to mind the apathy, it works to their benefit. They use the members themselves as scapegoats for the failings of the Union. The members, however, work for a living, and many haven't the energy to be more involved. Those whose job it is to keep the workforce organized, all too often, get a free pass. If I were a BA, I would make it my mission to get voter turn out and meeting attendance as high as possible. We are way behind the curve on using technology to keep the members up to date with what's going on and why they should care. It's nice that the international is starting to catch up, but we need a system that the locals can deploy easily because they are the face of the Union to most members. [/QUOTE]
