Not themselves. And although I can't say that I have agreed with all their doings over the last 12 years, I can say that their actions were never out of line and in general were for the greater good of the majority of pilots. I truly trust them and can honestly say my union speaks for me.
Now why the discrepancy with your union? Is it the memberships fault? A bunch of whiney, "conspiracy theorists?" Or is it a longtime lack of leadership and oversight by the union official? Again, why the difference?
You're missing the point completely. I feel the same about my MEC as you feel about yours. The problem with your last paragraph is that is isn't 9e pilots on this thread that are tearing up our MEC, it is XJ and 9l guys. Maybe the difference is we don't attack your MEC's with false unfounded rumors as much as y'all attack ours. Politics as many have said.
