How CUPE Corrupts Key people

What is it that makes a member who becomes a shop steward and moves up the volunteer ranks to become an executive member turn bad. At the beginning, these people are out there helping everyone and giving up most of their free time and taking on the employer when needed and taking on the big guys at national when needed. Is it when they get elected to a divisional position that does it or is it when they get elected to the national executive board or is it when they get an acting position as a national rep.? well I am here to tell you, it is when they think they have a little power; and this is usually when they get to the board level and they are usually guaranteed a rep. position, that they start to turn bad. Some are bad to the bone in the beginning. What do I mean by bad? This is when they start looking after themselves and let on they are supporting you and your concerns or grievances: this is when they side with national over the interest of the member or local ; and this is when they lie so much they forget what lie they told you last week but this week the new lie is the truth. These people have a price and that is money and power and you will not see it coming until it is too late ; and even if you do, the moral majority will not believe you and you will become an outcast. When the majority realizes you were telling them the truth about this person, they will be so embarrassed, they will go along and continue to support this person who has gone bad and has become a rep. or a board member or even worse; has become the national president or secretary treasurer or some kind of consultant to the board. Keep looking both ways ; and hopefully, you do not get blind sided by the big machine. Watchdog annie
