One of the strangest things is that TWU Local 100 operates as if the recent amendments that were made on 2008 are in compliance with the TWU Constitution. In addition as if those amendments were submitted to the TWU International and were certified by the TWU International.
Now we will question John E Samuelsen president of the TWU Local 100 Take Backward Our Union TBOU - what is the cost of the print of the so called new version of the Local By-Laws? How much of the membership dues have to be spent? Lets imagine in the event that TWU International comes back with an opinion that those amendments do not comply with the TWU Constitution then would that be a waste of membership funds.
How dare you question the wisdom of a president! What have you ever accomplished? Not as much as president Samuelsen we bet! That is what the cronies would come out with - they will say Samuelsen is infallible! That's why he deserves hundreds of times the compensation of the average membership because every decision is thousands of times more beneficial - more right than any decision you or we could make. That if he weren't so extraordinarily visionary and so singularly gifted he wouldn't be worth all that money! Oh...wait a minute.
