As a state employee and shop steward the union is not some office building where you send your dues. The union is not the staff there. The union is you and your co-workers. A union is only as strong and influential as the commitment and number of its active members. True power is not with the union representatives, who are only there to facilitate the needs of its members, but with its membership.
Stay strong my union brothers and sisters!
