Do you recognize that giving rank and file access to all financial data also gives our management access to all of our union's financial data? Shareholders are not entitled to access to proprietary financial information of a company, so why should all union membership be shown all the inner financial workings of their union? That's why we can choose our representatives via elections and we should trust them to be custodians of all of our union's resources.
Your charges of impropriety will never be quelled no matter what information you have access to. Let's be real about that.
