Soon to be in a Theatre near you.....Piney,
I lived the IAM hell for several years. You have more insight into the moral disgrace of union leadership than 99.99% of union members. I still have printed records of collusion along with audio recordings that I had to take with me for my own best welfare. It was not worth it for me to fight a dishonest union leadership group along with fighting the company (hence you can not fight the world). I would have ended up unemployed while trying to do the right thing for a almost worthless membership group. Really all I am trying to say to you is I agree with your posting. There is a saying that the average person is an idiot. That may apply here as some of these small players in the union just can’t see what is really going on because of their limited insight or intelligence.
