The Union

Up until this time, I saw three poeple taken away in a stretcher after meeting with the, well, we'll call her Deputy. The Deputy had a habit of berating and insulting staff in public meetings. This person would talk over employees. She would never answer any question of the staff. "I am too busy for this." Was a constant reply. She made it clear that she was "above" all of the employees. She believed in gossip. regardless if the information was accurate or not, she believed it. She would then attack whoever was the target. She was bad, very bad. Those people who were taken away were good people. They were dedicated. They were, like all of us, flawed. Still yelling at them in public, calling them names like "incompetent," "poor excuse for an employee." That did not bode well for the staff. Morale plummeted. When I joined the Union, my goal was to fight abuse like that. I knew that the union would stand up for the staff. That they would fight and fight hard.
