CUPE and Politics

I touched a little on politics and cupe national funding campaigns for the ndp; but when it comes to federal politics, you will see the big hogs sitting at the ndp conventions and at the same time they are signing cheques for the bloc party in quebec . What do you think about this? The national president and the national secretary treasurer are buying quebec support/votes with the cupe members money and the national executive committee and the national executive board are going along with it. Is this illegal and unethical : it most certainly is. Is any one going to do something about it? No. why? You do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out : if you want to keep your fingers in the cookie jar, you keep your mouth shut. They get to call in some favours, they get to go to Ottawa and eat with the big wigs and discuss what should be improved in the world through their eyes, and they get to sit on a few committees and fly around the world. This is the kind of crap that has taken down federal governments. I hope I am still alive when members decide to speak up and request bringing in the authorities to take a real look at where the money has gone and is going. Watchdog annie.
