02 Apr Once the a former staffer with a planning-created partnership, I have to acknowledge one the Unit’s very early messaging elevated purple flags
I've seen such speaking items before relating to raids, which can be ways engineered to fully capture current membership of another relationship.
Unions pop up - otherwise are propped up - from big date-to-big date using this express mission at heart. Such tips is waged throughout the right. It attract the newest complaints off members, such as too little responsiveness otherwise responsibility off their partnership leadership, if you are creating an empty eyes from exchange unionism. Within work to help you woo potential people, this type of pseudo-unions generally speaking stress the straight down dues, freedom out of bigger work federations, and you can not enough involvement with political facts.
Including, in a recent raid on the a professional medical care partnership at the an effective Toronto hospital, the new upstart National Structured Specialists Union (NOWU) - the following eg human body produced by a former SEIU staffer - circulated good leaflet trumpeting its “lesser union fees,” deeper “handle and you will options for new people,” and “quicker lost dues” the help of its freedom.
