If by some miracle the union as an organization continues to exist after this vote, the members should consider adding conflict of interest clauses to the bylaws to preclude union reps (from the very top down) from profiting in any way from their position for a specified period of time. I know it is impossible to know every way in which a rep may profit, but at least eliminate the obvious and verifiable ways. IMHO what is happening here is perfect storm of weak or greedy reps and a corrupt company who will go to any lengths to implement their stingy, oppressive and punitive policies.
