The local school union unwittingly appointed my awake wife as the Union Secretary.
For a whole year she did all her monthly duties for meetings and took very detailed notes to record the Prez, VP, Treasurer. and members concerns and topics. She started asking questions about where the $20 weekly dues was really going and why they don't have any funds left for staff Continuing Education, Certifications or even a Christmas party like they used to. The president deferred to the Union Field Representative but she couldn't answer the question either. This got the rest of the members agitated and they couldn't "table" the discussion for a later time fast enough.
Before the next meeting, the Field Rep encouraged the other members to vote my wife off the executive board.
My wife is certain that the unions are NOT working for the members anymore and are only working to enrich the union so they can lobby for left leaning efforts and politicians.
