[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1537918, member: 52520"] I'm not blaming "the unions" for the appeal of rtw for existing bargaining unit workers. I am talking about the mindset of union members who feel their representation on the local level is not worth paying dues for. Your BA is the face of the IBT to many hourly employees. That's all I'm saying. If the potatoes at the store are rotten you don't buy them. Im not equating the disapproval of the union across the board to be a catalyst for rtw for people that have lost faith in a BA that they can see face to face (not that the BA comes to our building to talk to members) but yes, pt timers I know would dump the dues in a heartbeat because they see very little support from the local and it's not because of laziness on the members part. This has nothing to do with other great locals and their honest BAs. I appreciate our union and the strength of the members. It's not your problem. It's ours. [/QUOTE]
