Just out of curiousity, how many times have you talked to your block rep? E-mailed him? Not just some anonymous post on a web forum. If we don't communicate with our reps, telling them of our issues and desires, they cannot be accused of not representing us.
BTW - After the age 60 deal, I doubt we will ever see another web-poll.
I agree with communicating with your block rep but... are they really listening? During the age 60 debacle I sent a total of 5 emails to my block rep and other union officials with the last to DW. Of the 5 responses, 4 of them stated that if I didn't like the way things were going then I should run for office and change it. I liked DW's the best. It was filled with sarcasm and he even offered to "help me in any way" to run for office. All I wanted was a few answers. From the responses I guess any member who has a question or concern with how things are going should just shut up and run for office. At least that's the impression I get every time I send an email to them.
