PeachMcD, 
#Union siblings, I seek counsel from the crowd mind
My union (which I won't identify) has bargained away our workers' right to strike & right to speak to media
They fund 1 of the 2 rep slots posted on the local's website, since forever. That rep just burned out & split like the last one
Mgmt uses temps to avoid hiring ft staff w benefits, but that's become a norm nationwide
Many of my co-workers want different representation but the process is hella steep & risky on purpose
Open to clues
