Change is coming. The good thing in this is the membership will get involved...this galvanization may come in handy later.
Heck, don't wear the lanyard at all, just clip the ID to your shirt pocket and everytime you see a union official ask them when they plan to resign.
Send emails to your block rep expressing your displeasure with their conduct of late and wait for their response. Oh let me guess...it was the right thing to do.
Albie, you say change is coming, however, when is the next election and for which position. Since the Chairman is elected by the LECs, how many years must pass before the requisite majority of LEC reps represent their majority and vote the current Chairman out of office?
or...
"If at least 30 percent of the workers in the bargaining unit sign the petition, then it must be sent to the NLRB's closest regional office, along with a cover sheet, NLRB Form 502. Once the petitions have been received and validated, the NLRB will set a date for the decertification election, usually about 60 days in the future. Individuals on both sides may campaign to sway the employees. When the vote is held, if a majority of the workers who participate favor decertifying the union, or if the vote results in a tie, then the NLRB will officially remove the union's recognition as the bargaining representative of the workers."

Don't you think at least 30% of the overwhelming majority (their words, not mine) would like to send a message of displeasure to our leadership right now!
For those of you thinking of quitting the union...read the above para carefully..."30% of the workers in the bargaining unit sign the petition.."
You gotta be a member to sign the petition.
