The sound of bubbles bursting


TWU Local 100 is at crossroads. We can continue to accept the third rate opportunities afforded to us by Samuelsen with his current leadership, and the likes they tell us to justify themselves, or start to demand change.
Must we have union staff foisted on us that clearly can’t do the job? The blame for perception that our TWU Local 100 is sub par is largely the result of the TBOU and the rabid infected poodle that come to us unqualified and without vision and objectives so desperately needed if we are to fix our TWU Local 100.
And what of Samuelsen? who was narrowly elected, a large part of the rationale for electing Samuelsen was based on that ‘we seek accountability and transparency in all major decisions that affect the membership, and union democracy overall’
But now we see that there is no accountability, no transparency and no democracy, we do see something that looks very much like a stolen election.
We also see lay offs, no local has fallen further and faster than TWU Local 100, all the gains of the past have been virtually wiped out. Similarily, the executive board has been pressured into ‘temporary assessment to cover medical benefits for our laid-off brothers and sisters’ we recommend that you oppose Samuelsen shenanigans, We believe you will not be fooled, of this indefensible dictatorial control of the executive board by the totally unqualified president John Samuelsen.
Samuelsen has been exposed as a dismal failure, that you will see that he does not care for the laid off brethren except he wants to lay his hand into your wallet, it is up to you to chop that hand before it reaches your wallet.
