The Computer Scam !!

Did you know CUPE National spent 12 million dollars on a computer system that did not work because none of the reps. had the ability to access it properly, it kept breaking down, and it did not facilitate the needs of the members ; so what did they do but scrap the system, wrote off 10 of the 12 million dollars, applied a further assessment (dues) to pay for the write off, and hired the guys who owned the company who built the crap computer system full time with big salaries , pensions, and assorted benefits to design another less complicated system. Guess what; the new computer system still breaks down on a regular basis and the National Executive is puzzled as to why this continues to happen. The new National Secretary Treasurer, Claude Genereux announced at a division conference to the presidents and delegates of this major abuse of the members money and the representatives of the various locals clapped and never asked a question. It is though these people are brainwashed or want to belong to a cult. The members who did ask questions, following the presentation, outside in the lobby were chastised and basically spit on. It was if they were saying how dare you question the Grand Puba dummies----they are our leaders. To this day, no one has investigated where all this money went to and who really got the money. All we do know is the National Pres. And Sec. Treasurer retired the next year very comfortable with Cadillacs for going away presents and their boys took over the two big jobs.
