Agree with Mustman.
Joe has been failed by his peers.
The saying actions speak louder than words applies here.
Joe's collegues, whilst full of praise for his courageous stance, failed to stand up to the company along side him and thus Joe was forced to do whatever J* management wanted him to do in order for him to get his job back.
One thing is for sure, I dont believe a word of that statement and anyone who believes any part of a statement signed under such duress is a bigger fool than anyone could ever give them credit for.
LR3,
The problem is not with the union reps, but the members themselves.
As a former union delegate in a different industry I used to always be asked the question "What is the union going to do about it ?" and my answer was always "Who is the union ?" and when I finally got through to the person asking the question that the Union was all of us together inevitably the anwer to the original question was "Nothing" because as a group collectively not enough of "The Union" had the intestinal fortitude to turn words into actions.
Remember this, a union is like a chain, it is only as good as its weakest member.
