How people can change

I would like to warn everyone who gets involved in cupe at the executive level to check in with themselves and ask outsiders and members if they have changed since they have been in these positions from the time they started at the lower levels. Many people change and not for the better, they commence wanting to help those who can not help themselves and after a period of a few years they are more interested in helping themselves to the top of the totem pole. When executive members stop returning your calls or meet with you numerous times but do nothing; then you know they are starting to turn. Hold onto your chair because this is just the beginning of the road of no return for proper representation and excuses of why it is not possible to do anything for you and why you receive garbage contracts. Most commence with the right idea or a good cause to help people ; but like everything else, they can get persuaded to join the big guys if the big guys pay enough attention to them. There should be a monitoring system that each local has that details the number of inquiries by members and the results. I realize this is on file with each local but how often is it properly attended to, Possibly, it could be incorporated in annual meetings so members could see the number of phone calls, meetings, complaints,.etc. that have been handled by the executive members in a specified period of time. Maybe this would put more accountability into the system and reduce the rumours in locals about what has or has not been done. Just a thought. Watchdog annie.
