Some very valid points; what does it say about a union when it will not represent any/all of it's financial members, under any and all circumstances, quite simply they are not for the members.
So the original question still stand, what is it that we pay our money for ?
I was up untill recently a member, for many years, in my opinion a complete waste of money. When they were needed they sat on their hands, and now to another poor soul they are doing the same.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, just because you may not agree with what they are saying, does not invalidate the content of their statement.
A union is most definately as strong as their members, no argument, but if the body does not rise to the challenge ( any and all challenges for members ) when called on, they should be ashamed of themselves.
So for you as a current member, under what circumstances do you think it is acceptable for the Union not to come to your assistance when request to rectify/mediate a workplace problem ?, please be specific ?.
