If union member are scared to use their names when discussing this, I doubt they would feel comfortable speaking out at meetings, as unionist suggests.
You have obviously never been a union member nor attended a union meeting in your life. Why not, instead of drawing conclusions from reading MSM propaganda, just ask a few questions about subjects you know nothing about.
I have been a union member, with UPSE here with the provincial gov't and with IATSE. I have attended union meetings with both and worked on devising a public response to government cuts to early childhood programs with UPSE members. I am currently non-unionized fed. crown corp (which enjoys union-level benefits due to the efforts of PSAC).
Why not, instead of drawing conclusions about people who you don't know, just answer the questions?
I will take your advice and ask a few questions:
Is the union's decision to have min. 15 minute wait times MSM Propaganda? If it isn't, why would they make such a decision?
Are the comments from union members in that article MSM propaganda? Could you imagine for one moment that striking members might legitimately not want to enforce these new measures?
