Twu Participation For Change!
- Thread starter Checking it Out
- Start date
It all just goes to show how completely out of touch the TWU is. Instead of allowing the membership to elect people who know how the members feel they hire outside groups to talk to the members.
When a union is that out of touch that they need to spend members dues hiring non-union people to talk to their members its time for the members to get a new union.
Imagine that we are paying theTWU to represent us but they have to hire outsiders to figure out what we want. They remove officers that tell them the same information they are paying those guys to get.
Companies do this sort of stuff all the time, usually to keep their employees from going union.
Pathetic, The answer is to get leaders that can lead. With the TWU that is not an option.

Yea but unfortunately we do have to. I dont believe in RTW but to be forced to pay dues to an unaccountable organization that can not do what they are paid to do is wrong. The fix is not RTW but proper enforcement of the LMRDA and an expansion of the LM-2s.Buck said:

I totally agree. However my non payment of dues except when forced to do so by Article 38 of the AA/TWU agreement is in my opinion the only way to show that I disapprove of the way the TWU conducts business.Bob Owens said:
The fix is not RTW, however it is the TWU that has shown that the principles of RTW are alive and well within their organization.

Wonder why you weren't talking that smack when the TWU was paying you $800/mo., sounds a bit self-serving to me.Bob Owens said:
Wrong again Steve. I've always been against RTW and for transparancy and accountability.Nightwatch said:
You see its the heavy handed supression of union members rights by corrupt leaders like the ones we have in the TWU that makes the common man vote for RTW. Sure most people want to have a union, but most also realize that a corrupt union could be worse than no union at all.
Lets see; we need to participate for change! You are correct CIO! I did participate by voting in the twu 514 elections. Now you friend bill is upset about the change about to happen. I guess that gives a little twist to NO VOTE NO PEACE!!!!!
I HAVE NOT LAUGHED THIS MUCH IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU twu FOR SENDING ME A BALLOT!!!

Hey Knight watch Why do you think Bob was removed from office. He was one of the few people to be elected who did what his members wanted . Well I don't expect you to understand. You have been self-serving way to long to ever understand it's about our profession not the association. NO VOTE :angry: NO PEACE!!!!!
