The first step is to organize! I also agree with the poster upthread who talked about getting involved in the internal union politics. Unions are supposed to be worker based and to reflect the needs of the workers themselves and not just the leadership. Always remember that!

From socialist_n_TN, former Boilermaker Shop Steward, former Recording Secretary of the Shipbuilders, member of the AFM for 20 years or so. And I currently work for the Firefighters union! Solidarity Sister!
