Who does CUPE recruit ?

What do you think about the training programs they put on. It seems cupe is more interested in trainers not telling the real truth about being a volunteer and let these poor people feel they are important until they run into a stumbling block when they go to represent someone whose grievance may be a little outside the norm. they recruit trainers who are not really equipped to do training because the majority do not have this type of background or do this for a living. Cupe is able to somewhat brainwash them into how to put a program on and how to present the national way to the members interested in getting involved in union work. At the end of the day, we end up with a group of people who are not properly trained to represent the membership. What is the answer? Cupe is supposed to be in the union business, not the training business. Hire, under contract, members who do this for a living to do the training and the followup. Separate the training of volunteer representatives from the propaganda and maybe they can acquire a greater percentage of members who will be able to do the job properly and the way it should be done; with a whole lot less guess work and problems. Watchdog annie.
