[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 1700325"] Silent, I will give my two cents. Our Local was good for a bit. But then something happened. We started getting substandard contracts, our agents were not visiting shops and were missing in action. We were told that our Local was broke and that we would be taken over by 848. Google it if you must. We fought hard and got rid of those guys. We are now in a great financial shape. We also have been active organizing even though our Local does not have an organizing department. Our Principal Officer, along with myself and our other agents do double duty as agents and organizers. I make it my mission to visit my shops at least once a week. I am married with a three kids. I'm oldest goes to community college. My son is a high school senior and my 10 year old goes to elementary school. At times it is hard being a full time Dad and a full time agent. But there is no room for excuses. I work at night and weekends if I must. Things can and will change if member unite for a common cause. Remember, leave the politics out of it. If you are going to bring your Local change, it must be for the interests of the members, not your own personal satisfaction. [/QUOTE]
