The topic for today is harassment among unionized members. Cupe does not have an harassment policy/ they only train on harassment in the workplace between managment and employee. One of the largest issues that require immediate attention is the harassment that exists and is permitted by cupe between members and other members and members and cupe staff reps. The harassment that is taking place is to such an extreme today that it borderlines on defamation of character and downright abuse. The only action that will take place in this organanization is lip service or a meeting to talk about brothers and sisters. Well I am here to tell you today, if something does not happen soon, there are going to be so many law suits and human rights complaints out there, they will not be able to keep up. The quality of reps. they are hiring have no background in this form of representation or mediation and this is what they like. It is like big government, keeping everyone at each others throats and they can achieve anything they want that they normally would not be able to because the members are too busy fighting and tearing each other apart. It is also a great control mechanism and public relations come on. The big guys come in and clean up the mess and look like heroes when they should have been preventing the mess in the first place.
Oh, they have a big future plan: they are going to look at recommendations in two years as to what they should possibly do about harassment between members. What real teeth does that equality statement have other than a bunch of words that are meant to impress poor people who do not know any better.

I have been harrassed by a fellow member for many many years and have finally had enough and quit from the organization. I have never seen such blatant abuse and underhandedness against a paying member to the point where legal representatives for the employer questioned the treatment I have received from this union. I am currently trying to decide whether or not to file a human rights complaint, but I have read that it is quite difficult to prove anything towards these "gangsters", as they all stick together. My best hope is for Karma and as they say what goes around comes around..... I feel lucky to get out in one piece and yet at the the same time I feel like I have been stripped of my dignity.
make the Human Rights complaint,, you'd be surprised what they can do,, if nothing else it won't happen again,, don't let them take your dignity,, they aren't God's.. they only think they are. i'm thinking of doing the same thing, and I know its a tough decision, if your out,, then what you got to lose? go for it! they will investigate,, like no one else has done and hopefully it won't happen again and if it does there will be serious consequences the second time someone complains. I HEAR ya!! Watch Dog Annie needs to pick back up this blog,, amazing this shit is still going on!!!!!!
