My Union has its ups and downs, advantages & disadvantages. About a year ago, I had an issue with my departments adminstration over a compensation issue. My Union rep was a big help and stood by me through the entire greivance policy. On the other hand, I felt they rolled & caved in during the recently County Executive election.
I try to attend as many of the union meeting as possible. Most months we are lucky to get a quarum for the meetings out of close to 1500 members. Of course the people that ***** the most about what the union does are the ones that never attend any meetings. Don't complain about the contract or neogations if you don't at least show up for a few meetings.
Ok now off of my soapbox.... Your union will be what ever you make of it. I am on our Safety Committee and the CISM team.
Any other questions, let me know.
