Sign Up To Give Local 308 Back To The Membership

Whether I am nominated and elected as ATU Local 308 president or not, we as members must take control of our organization. If it happens, I will be thrown into a burning, sinking ship. The lifeboats will have been punctured. The passengers will be asleep or just waking up. It will be a disaster.

How do I know? I have carefully watched the conduct and habits of the previous and current presidents and secretary-treasurer. Like ATU Local 241, ATU Local 308 is a hyper-secretive personality cult which serves as an auxiliary iron fist for CTA management.

Whenever members must jump through numerous hoops to review financial records—and comprehensive reports and audits are either late or non-existent—that is a sign of looming disaster.

So I might as well be ready by gathering as much vital data for each and every member now. 

Organizing to save our gold-standard pension from implosion through a militant fight for Full-Time Jobs For All will require passion and fearlessness. Connecting with those who want it is crucial.

Moreover, by sharing with me your email address, phone number, hire date and job classification, I intend to establishing a confidential new database of ALL ATU Local 308 members. 

 

You may ask "we already have that information." Frankly, from what I have witnessed during my time as a member, I do not believe such records have been kept up to date—nor have they been effectively utilized. Also, because I am such a pariah to the current Secretary-Treasurer and the entire ATU leadership, I suspect there will be sabotage for an administration such as mine regarding access your vital information.

From the information you share—at this link—or below, you will be at the foundation to connect members directly to ATU Local 308 officers. With this vital information, we can handle all union affairs efficiently through modern technology.

No longer will we govern ATU Local 308 from hard-to-access locations during impossible hours without each and every single member having an opportunity to participate in every decision we make.

I highly recommend you use a gmail account! With a gmail account, you will have access to everything we will need to put ATU Local 308 under your control. Right now, I am establishing forms, spreadsheets, documents, calendar, newsletter and more to take ATU Local 308 out of the stone ages.

Your information will remain confidential and you can request to be removed at any time. However, I do not recommend you opt-out. This database will be your link to your union.
