1000 Delegates-is that all?

The AUPE is in its 2nd day of their convention.  But only 1000 delegates are here for it.  That seems very low for an organization with at least 83,000 members.  Also scary to think that these few members will be discussing and voting on various issues.  According to Guy Smith,

“Delegates will debate and vote on resolutions and policies that will set the union’s direction for the coming year.”

So, the future of over 80 thousand union members is in the hands of a very few.  This reinforces to me that the AUPE has relatively no accountability and that members are willing to be led unquestioningly by a few.  It's time for the union members to wake up and question their leaders.  Time to hold them accountable for their actions and how they spend members' union dues.

A couple of sayings comes to mind:

"There is none so blind as those who will not see."  and  "If the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch."

In the meantime, myself and other Artspace members must endure the whims of this powerful union because we cannot make them accountable...but we can, and will, expose their whims.
