TEN WAYS TO KILL A UNION
- DON’T COME TO THE MEETINGS.
- BUT IF YOU DO COME – COME LATE.
- IF THE WEATHER DOESN’T SUIT YOU, -- DON’T COME.
- IF YOU DO ATTEND A MEETING -- FIND FAULT WITH THE WORK OF THE OFFICERS AND OTHER MEMBERS.
- NEVER ACCEPT AN OFFICE -- IT’S EASIER TO CRITICIZE THAN TO DO THINGS.
- NEVERTHELESS, GET SORE IF YOU ARE NOT APPOINTED ON A COMMITTEE: BUT, IF YOU ARE APPOINTED, -- DO NOT ATTEND THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
- IF ASKED BY THE PRESIDENT TO GIVE YOUR OPINION ON AN IMPORTANT MATTER, TELL HIM YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY – AFTER THE MEETING TELL EVERYONE HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE.
- DO NOTHING MORE THAN IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY; BUT WHEN OTHER MEMBERS ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES, WILLINGLY AND UNSELFISHLY USING THEIR ABILITY TO HELP MATTERS ALONG -- HOWL THAT THE UNION IS BEING RUN BY A CLIQUE.
- IF YOUR LOCAL IS STRUGGLING FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT TO MAINTAIN OFFICES IN YOUR BEHALF, BE SURE AND MUSTER ALL THE HELP YOU CAN -- TO VOTE AGAINST A DUES RAISE.
- DON’T BOTHER ABOUT NEW MEMBERS -- LET THE OTHER FELLOW DO IT.
COULD THIS BE ME?
