CUPE Members against CUPE Members

What do you think about supervisors and regular employees being in the same union and being disciplined by their fellow union members ? Cupe has no problem with this; because of course, there is more money coming in through increased dues and probably less complaints or grievances due to who the bosses are and how they fit in. To expand on this further, the supervisors are usually more aggressive and they usually run for executive positions on locals because they are not going to be directed by low lifes like regular employees so once again the fairness in the system is jeopardized. The big kicker is negotiations because the supervisors; if they are executive members, sit on the negotiating team and they can settle for a whole lot less because their salaries are in the vicinity of 10,000.00 per year more than the next level so the little guy gets the shaft again. I think there should not be any supervisors who perform job evaluations or are involved in any aspect of discipline permitted to be in the same union as the people they are supervising. Cupe thrives on silent intimidation. This should spark a little fire. Watchdog annie.
