Triedit would not belong to the Teacher's Federation because she is not a qualified teacher so maybe that is why they have her as a member of CUPE. Don't forget that many of the people who teach night courses are not actually teachers even though they are teaching us about their interests and specialities.

If you are so passionate about not being part of union (for no reason seeing as you don't even pay dues) then quit and teach privately.
Whinning about it won't change anything.
What part of jobs moving offshore so companies don't have to answer high Union demands do you find so difficult to understand? Redundancy is a Union thing, right?

you prove your glib assertion first, and then I might care to. lol.
I have yet to see one union that was truly looking out for the well being of its members. I've even seen unions drive their workers out of jobs, when they refused to listen to the company's repeated statements that they couldn't afford higher wages, and a strike would shut them down. Yet the union pushed, despite the wishes of tons of motivated employees, and put them all out of work. Ridiculous.
You didn't answer my question.
What a shock.:roll:
Plus the unions are comprised of employees and they are the ones who decide when to strike so don't give me this dictatorship nonsense.
This isn't whining. This is information seeking. A precursor to possibly not renewing my teaching contract if I actually even AM in a union. And there isn't a market for teaching this stuff privately.
This isn't about dues. This is about tons of mail and phone calls wanting me to support this cause or that. Or a particular politician. Or just about the annoyance of it. And God help them if they do someday try to get me to pay "back dues" or somesuch.
You didn't actually ask a question. You gave an order. Not exactly conducive to discussion. Like I said... prove your glib assertion first, then you can worry about mine. :smile:
Interesting as I am a member of the same union and get no calls wanting support for anything, perhaps you are lying.
You will have to decide what comes first then, being part of a union with no obligation at all to do anything for it or your teaching.
If people want to take the course there is a market for it.
If Im lying then may lightening strike me dead.
And you're an a$$wipe for even suggesting such a thing.
ETA If this union is full of people like you, no wonder Im hesitant to be a part of it
Well I have been a full member of CUPE for over a decade and have never recieved one phone call or letter mail from them.....not once.
