Show of hands: who usually makes it to their union meetings?

[542thruNthru]

I go to one pretty much every other month. The reason is because they always do it on a Thursday at 7. If it was on the weekend I'd be there everytime.

Tried to have them change the day but they were having none of that.

Our local meetings are the last Sunday morning of every month, suspended June, July and August.
I go to almost every one, and have been for quite some time.
The meetings last about 2 hours nowadays, lots of good information from our officers and BAs in their reports. There are usually guest speakers, politicians, labor leaders, giving a presentation.
The hall is usually full or close to it.

We have union meetings 4 times a year. I make 75% of them.

3/4 = .75 = 75%.

Our local also cancels meetings during the summer months.

Does the last quarter of every meeting get that boring?

Not accurate.

You haven't been to a meeting lately. As with anything dependent on member turnout, there are meetings more well attended then others.

Yea it's a different era. People are to busy. I could see more involvement with a podcast, Skype, or Facebook live.

friend I get stuck in the parking lot for a meeting most nights. Sometimes it's very hard to get out of the building I work in.
