You are right to say that you should not be called names just because you fly for a crap outfit but wanting "dignity and respect", come on mate, get real.
Only way you are gonna get some respect is by walking away from that malicious joint.
The biggest challenge for a union in a company is to create a common interest amongst its members. By the looks of it, that ain't happening. 2nd item on the to-do list becomes exciting management that employee's quality of life improves productivity. Clearly a lesson that your CEO missed in his days at school (he did go to school didn't he?)
Keep on trucking
