In Newton, Massachusetts, police dispatchers want to dispatch their union. They feel that their union dues have not provided a good return. In fact, they believe that their dues have been a bad investment in employee representation.
The dispatchers have filed a complaint against their union, AFSCME Local 3092, with the state Labor Relations Commission. They claim that their union leader does not attend important meetings and does not do a good job of representing the dispatcher’s interests.
How odd!
Like many other union members, the cops have found that union dues do not necessarily bring any rewards. For years, union dues have enrched many union officials who have often pursued political goals that members may not approve. It’s no wonder that so many union members feel that their unions are out of touch with their concerns and interests.
