Union's/associations are only there to provide a false sense of security to the group. In my experience over the years in several different countries with several different unions, they are only an extension of the company itself. The graft and corruption run deeper than any think, unions, governments, companies. The only way for things to improve is to resign en masse, or to unify outside of a union message board. Those worthless boards have never produced any good change. It is another false sense of improvement. Venting on a board does nothing. The unity must come to the group outside of the association. The union is part of the problem. If it isn't evident now, after this complete leg sweep, you are truly blind.
