Take Ownership In Your Union

Brothers and Sisters:
As a membership we must take ownership in our union. For many years the TWU has been motivated by politics which doesn't do much to make a strong. Your particular job function no matter what it is must be defended by the men and women who worked those titles. The question is how? We must learn and enforce our contract especially any safety provisions. With an army of educated members, management will always think twice before acting foolishly. But, what do we do about the people who wish for failure? Does it help us in our continued fight against the powers that be? Not in my opinion! Moving forward from here means that as a member of the TWU, we must take ownership in our union, that means doing your part to make it strong. Paying dues is a small part. As a member of local 100 it should be your personal responsibility to get involved with the struggle! We have the potential to be here for many years so some don't think so. It is our responsibility to make sure conditions are good for the folks coming in behind us. The recipe for our focus is already there with all the antiunion regiments around us. Are we that far removed that we are not a bit angry at what's going on? The people responsible for the disastrous economy are blaming the unions. Take ownership and tell the others to stop playing politics with our union that includes TWU of America because together we make a difference always. We must stay united to defeat the anti-laborer.
I'm my brothers and sisters keeper will you be mine?
