In some unions retirees can still vote for officers.
I did a short stint in that UFCW while working a second job stocking shelves at Stop n Shop....the officers are not elected by the Union members....it is a complete circle jerk among money sucking whores at the hall. Deorio was my locals president who was the former presidents secretary...the most unqualified wench who could give 2 sh_ts about the plebians who fund the entire show. The post office seems to be the only shop that was forced to fully fund their retirement ...why? I have no use for any Unions other than viable Tradesmen ...roofers/electricians/Plumbers/High steel/Carpenters....beyond that none are needed.
