Informer,
If you are still around I wanted to get your input on what Lee Seham was saying within the video. For me, I noticed him saying what ever service the membership needed under the AMP all they had to do was pay for it. Speaking as to financial, representational, legal professional representation and etc. as the list goes on and on. This he said was the difference from the affiliation of AFL-CIO.
I was looking between the cracks of what he was saying. I think what he is saying throughout the video is. "We couldn't stand on our own under AMP without paying through the nose for services as simple as basic representation!"
Seham's comments in the video only bring notice to the membership of what to expect to be out of pocket under the AMP. Basically saying, "Get ready to pay, and don't blame us!" We warned you ahead of time and hence blame the membership. This video gives the organizers an out and lets them off the hook because Lee Seham told the members in the beginning, representation doesn't come cheap...
