Agreed fully on the part in bold. As for the next sentence, I agree that some come across this way. We had a rep replaced that spoke that way, all the time, even though I think his heart was actually in the right place. Took out another rep that was deemed guilty by association (so to speak).
I think any union is about 1/3 brilliant technocrats/lifers, 1/3 entrenched/self-serving technocrats, 1/3 cycling through and doing their best.
