Thank you for your post. It is very informational and contains much of which I wasn’t aware.
Your union sounds a lot like the unions I’ve belonged to in the past - the union bosses like to rub shoulders with the powerful and just take for granted the people who do all the work and pay the dues. Hasn’t changed much in 35 years, I see.
Yes,
I find the unions all essentially work the same.
I’ve been researching the issues and politics in this area for a number of years. If anything comes up concerning fire fighters and politics I’d be happy to answer any questions I have information on.
Take Care!
