good point....sometimes a sense of them being out of touch with reality...shared with politicians,management types,and individuals at one time or another.
i disagree here as to me the backbone of the union is the core membership....and to me it is the core membership that gives the union leadership its purpose,direction and support.much like a foundation in a building.....weak foundation=weak building...doomed to collapse at one time or another...
loathed for good reason??maybe lack of education to the working person on benefits and wages and working conditions of the average union family.it is proven that the living standards of family's of unionized workers are far superior to those of non-union family's.why then the divide?? lack of education of the working masses.
falling apart...like i said weak foundation....cause?? apathy towards unions,unions failing to come to grips with the ever changing workplace,unions somewhat falling on reliance of the old ways and days....
this is some of what i saw and continue to see in the workplace today.
