Good luck with that.
Banjo. How did you come to that conclusion champ?
What I can say that in the last decade I have been a union member I would have had no less than 50 interactions with them, and most of the time walked away disappointed. I got to the point that I felt like a pest. Looking back most of the issues I brought up were valid, but unfortunately the union put it in the too hard basket.
You can have the full backing of the rank and file, but without solid leadership and guidance from a strong union we are not united.
