How come a person that already holds a position in our union can be nominated for yet another position?Isnt one enough?Seems like the more people that we have in office would only help?Just my opinion though .Im guessing more time off the line and more ass kissing time.Wow how can people stoop low enough to kiss another persons ass.Id rather work that that...thanks

if you mean national delegate or national constituion delegte.
those are only active during the convention dates and is not a full time position in the union.

Thank you I am aware of that, still it seems if you have a different person in each position (part time or full time)it would only make the Union more diverse.Therefore hopefully stronger and more supportive .

Seems to me it would make more sense to have those leading your plant to be involved with all aspects involving all levels up to the international...do you want someone not in a position here at our plant to get the info and no ability to do anything with it at the local level. I am not a fan of some of our union here at KTP...but It makes sense for our Building Chair and committee to be part of these conversations in my opinion.

True but it's always the same old names.Its like they say I'll go for this if I don't get that then maybe I'll get that position???And if that falls thru maybe I can get on that commitee..just saying.Im sure there's plenty of qualified people that know what's going on in this place that would be a strong spokesperson for us,in addition to the people holding office already.

I agree we need to get most of these guys out...so lets get new guys in and send them...but every year we hear this and the same 90% get back in and my guess is its not gonna change this year.

No shit everyone bitches about people and the way we get treated but when It comes time to vote most don't have the time to vote???Ive always voted ,even tho I'm sure it really doesn't matter..Hell the names that are in there now are the same as in 1995 when I was hired.Guess it's a FAMILY TRADITION!! And I'm sure we would all do the same.But it does suck!One more thing it cracks me up how friendly some people are when they have a union position but when it's over they're right back on MEDICAL til the next bullshit commitee comes a callin? Most of the people that I see that run for these positions don't give a shit about anything but getting off the line..
