Oh you must be a union volunteer. Thats the party line these days right? If you dont volunteer, you have no right to criticize? Its an old and very tired line union guys love to use. You volunteered to be a leader and do a job on behalf of the members. That job entails receiving criticism and praise as all leadership positions do. If you didnt want that, you shouldnt have taken a position where you are guaranteed to get it. Its the extreme arrogance of thinking you are right when your entire membership is against you that got our current volunteers in this mess. The 2000 you have a problem with contain some extremely intelligent and experienced people who pay for their right to express how they feel. Volunteering is not a pre req.
