ABSTRACT
Members feel how they're treated is important. General well-being. How management treats you. The local can't identify with that…. Pay scale. When you get a 3% pay increase and the local thinks it's a victory—and it may be to them—but it's not to membership. People ratify a contract because they feel they have no other choice. Like myself. Most members feel that even a union that doesn't do everything that needs to be done is better than not having a union at all.
