Who runs CUPE

Who runs cupe and who controls it are two different questions. It is run like our governments the small people who are shop steward and small local executives run the organization and help the members from the initial contact right up to adjudication if need be. These are the people who take all the abuse and donate approx. a minimum of 1000 hours without any pay per year to the cause. These are the people who return your phone calls, meet with employers, and fight for service and justice; and they are also the same people cupe and the members toss out like a dirty shirt never to be thought about again once they have served their purpose or have spoken out against the grand puba. Now for the ones who control the organ. They are few in number, they are the top hogs at the national executive board and the reps. who dictate how things are going to be; and if you do not like it, they use their power and influence to stomp you out. They have egos bigger than president bush and they actually think they are running a country—what country we are not sure yet; but one thing is for sure, there is no accountability at this level and they will use all of your resources, being the resources you financed, to take you down when they want to. Just a thought for the day. Watchdog annie.
