Interesting that you say that, there are redundancies in the company where I work, and I spoke to the Union rep why there was no meeting to discuss it. He said no one in the union was affected.
Now does that really mean that by luck no one in the union was affected, or was it that the company deliberately avoided union members (as there are easier pickings with people who have no one to speak up for them ?)
I also have had people who 'got a letter' asking me (as a union member), if I have had received any advice from the Union, on what their rights were on a number of proceduaral issues and statutary rights.
I DID get this information(as a paying member) but why should I have to feel obliged pass this on to people who are not prepared to join the union, but then want help when they are in a bind.
Is it these people don't believe in unions, (until they are targetted themselves) or is it that they just don't want to pay out the money?
