You really believe we have a strong local ?? What do you believe makes a stronger local? Do you even know what a strong local is?
Why do we only have a few dozen members at our local membership meetings? Do we have to bribe members to attend meetings with free food? Why do we have members at the locals doors demanding removal of certain BA's? Maybe you should attend a Local 396 or 63 meeting, then maybe you'd know what a strong local is. And what reason would i have to lie about our local?? I've said it before, you live in a brown bubble and everything outside of that bubble is foreign to you.. You should venture out and start speaking to our members in other crafts, you drive around all day, you ever run into a Coke driver, Pepsi, Albertsons, straub or freight drivers? Ask them about their representation with our local. Your problem is you don't care about anything else but UPS.
Open your eyes laguna and start asking around!
