During the last week of February the biannual meeting between CBS Labor Relations and the IBEW was held. Because I had specific knowledge of an issue being discussed, I was asked to attend and so I did. After the four-day event was over I came away with an enlightened sense of not only the process but also the subtleties needed to make the process work.
Those of you who feel your interests are not being vigorously pursued are mistaken. We are well represented. This is not to say we can always take away a happy outcome. It is a complex power struggle that requires a combination of aggressiveness and delicacy. I saw this first hand and I was glad for the opportunity to do my part.
Complaining is easy.
Working for positive change within the union is the hard part.
