Member’s grievance goes unaddressed


TWU Local 100 future recording secretary must be a male, who must be formidable, who should rule and control the executive board seamlessly, and he should rule with an iron fist and carry a large stick. There have been infinite complaints from the members concerning their grievance ‘charges’ against many of the officers of the TWU Local 100.
We have scoured many of the executive board minutes and no members charges were honored. We wonder whether they have vaporized into a mist of thin air. Based on the above we recommend that a male should be the future recording secretary who can get the executive board to function effectively.
Many view this inability of addressing the members grievance against TWU Local 100 officers in their wrong doing as an ill advised tactic from the current leadership - simplistically put it is unfair to the membership and it is inappropriate. Members grievances against officers should be aired - there should be time and effort required. The officers who commit wrong doing should be penalized that would be worthwhile for TWU Local 100 as an organization. Specifically since now all officers know they can skate free they trample on that solidarity. On the other hand when the member grievance goes unaddressed it does not enhance the brotherhood and sisterhood among us.

  1. I think perhaps you should re-check your research.
    A few charges have made it through, most notably the charges against the former Secretary Treasurer, which we have heard about ad nauseam.

    Secondly I think making the recording Secretary job gender specific is a bit short-sided.
    I know of many women who are just as forceful and have tremendous strength of character and conviction as any man.

    I know that you did not mean anything as an insult to women. But it could be in the extreme taken that way.
