IBEW 424 Where are you ?
I was there when Tim (present Business Associate) was working with George
at dispatch, now he is least to my knowledge business manager, regardless
of placement he knows my story as he was there from the beginning.

But the main part that gets me is why? ,(when George was alive) my
situation was conflict of interest?

George was administrative to the IBEW and also on the WCB board, is this
why I have not received assistance from my "BROTHERS ?

Having my rights been taken away?
No assistance for all the years of dues I paid?
Insurance is non-existent, how many years of payment to the employees
benefit plan?

No representation other then qualifications for job placement?
My family has to live in poverty with no medical or dental for me and my
wife?

We have to go through all this bull just because those I thought were
there for me turned out only to be there to better there own lives?

When I worked for IBEW. it was all together or stand alone, thats why I
stood to picket and fight the non-union (remember Hinton or A.E.C pulp
mill)what do I get ?

No more I am now officially against UNIONS cause the brotherhood is not
there.


There was an intresting comment left as well which follows

I have been a 30 year member in the ibew and have seen the change in our
so called brotherhood in ALBERTA.Truth be known there is no brotherhood
that I could see for a number of years.It,s been each man for him
self.HAving worked in the USA ,I saw once again what brotherhood means.As
new elected union official's get into power they choose to better them
selves for the future job position's [contractor's etc.].Ask Bob L---,job
steward's BA's etc'[that tow the company line] for there gain,not for each
brother or sister they could have helped during a grievence proceding[then
tell you he was fighting for you all the way].With little or no
brotherhood at the top it show's all the way down the rank to most members
that haven't seen or embraced the meaning.I have spoken to various members
and they to agee what I have said.As it is written "I AM MY BROTHER,S
KEEPER"
