poor leadership and union 609

I'd like to start by saying that I am not anti-union I'm anti-poor leadership.  I have come to the conclusions that union 609 offers just that to union members.  As of last week I had the opportunity to see Dave Westberg (Union Business Agent) come the day of a meeting about cutting hours for food service workers to get their input on the situation for the first time.  Hours before the meeting was to begin.  During this twenty minute visit Mr. Westberg was not interested in suggestions about how to make food service more efficient nor did he have any feed back that did not reflecthe views of management.  This is why I believe that it's time for the members of union 609 to abandon 609 and find a union that will advocate for it's members.
In the past five years Union 609 has lost on major issues that have effected it's members significantly. They have lost hours, wages, benefits; many of the members of union  609 qualify for food stamps, and free and reduced lunch.  These are economic issues that effect almost every aspect of union member's lives.  Unions were created to protect the worker's rights, hours, wages, benefits, not to bargain them away.  With representation like this, members would almost be better off on their own.
We ask respectfully that Dave Westberg do the responsible thing for Union 609 and resign.  His failure to represent his members wholeheartedly and to fight for them at every turn has proven David Westberg   lacks the will to lead.
