Maybe it's Just Me but...

Ok, so maybe it's just me but...

It seems to me that our Union (WE) just spent a lot of money renting out hotel meeting rooms so that the Members of our Union, working at Kaiser Permanente and the California Service Center, could vote on our most recent contract amendments. I speculate the amount spent to rent out the four hotel meeting rooms, across San Diego County, to be hundreds of dollars.

Now that our Union and Kaiser Permanente have been engaged within the 'Labor Management Partnership' for more than a decade, and seeing as how it would have been much more convenient for our Members to vote on-campus, why did we have to waste a lot of money for less convenience? It seems to me that Kaiser Permanente, our 'partner' should have had no issue with permitting us with the use of a little space at each facility for this sort of voting event.

Adding insult to injury, our Union recently emailed myself (and I'll go out on a limb here and expect that they emailed others as well) a statement encouraging me to complete this year's Kaiser Permanente People Pulse survey. Why does our Union allow Management access to me, through my Union, while Management does not allow my Union access to me, through my Employer?

So....maybe it's just me.
