Frankly, it's incorrect. That's what's wrong.
You seem to think you occupy some sort of "moral high ground" by not picking a side? Well, one thing is for sure, you're the victim of a sham and a screw job, but it's not coming from the union.
All, and I do mean all, of your frustration should be directed squarely at Purchase for gaming your profession. To the company you are merely a debit on left side of the financial statement. They are not your daddy paying your bills. You bring value to the company, much more than you're being given credit for, every month.
There is no right or wrong in living life. There are only consequences of ones actions. I am not frustrated being at Atlas nor am I on any "moral high ground" either. I am completely secure in choosing NOT to be brow beaten by rogue union members or be abused by the company. Both can be accomplished at the same time. Just because I don't bang on the union drum blindly does not mean that I do not support our cause. You want to pick apart or manipulate my words to force me into some sort of corner to demonstrate that you are a union supporter but you are choosing to bully a union dues paying member in good standing! What would the union say to you if we were face to face and you choose to bully me like you are doing and I chose to say I prefer go home after a pattern instead of volunteering? I am sure the exco would tell you that it is my choice and the union, if it ever came down to it must represent me if I needed it because I PAY MY DUES.
