Liter on the streets and not in good standing members are appointed to the Union hall

Should we be surprised that some members of the current leadership were not in good standing and were appointed by Samuelsen? We’re not because a dark era for our TWU Local 100 has emerged.

Why would Samuelsen appoint an officer who was not in good standing? Maybe they have finally paid their dues, however what type of message is he sending to the members who are in good standing? This is disgusting behavior imposed by Samuelsen. The signal is clear to many of us, even if you were not in good standing member you can be appointed by Samuelsen if you are a ‘go-to‘ guy.

We are also disgusted by those officers, who were not in good standing and who are using their positions to advance Samuelsen failing harebrained schemes. We want to reverse this trend. The TWU Local 100 has sunk so low that members who are not in good standing don’t feel the need to bring themselves to good standing because they don’t know if Samuelsen will appoint them to the union hall they love 'pay to play' too. They equate and point to those appointed officers to the clergy who molest children. Those members have a right to their opinions. We respect that, thus Samuelsen appointees who were not in good standing should be kicked out of the union hall, those appointees should not be tolerated.

Welcome to the land of Samuelsen’s double standards. Those appointees who were initially interested in running for the union wide positions were unable to do so because they were not in good standing. However ‘pay to play’ which is exactly what some did in their one stop shopping TBOU slate. This is not a mere oversight from Samuelsen it is a judgement call and clearly it stinks to high heaven.

It is our belief, that we have reason to think is shared by the membership that only members who were in good standing and paid their dues in a timely manner should be in union hall when the dues were stopped by the judicial order however those who took advantage of not paying their dues are not worthy to be in the union hall their intent was clear to not pay the dues.
