AGENDA Tuesday December 13 2011 7:00PM UHW Meeting Crux of Complaint: In order to stay the functional body as UHW

decision making should be a joint effort when it comes to governing this union. This leadership continued use of the E-Board as the front runners to implement its million member agendas instead of building a firm sound infrastructure needs to cease immediately. It is painstakingly obvious the intent is expansion by any means necessary regardless of membership input. The Kaiser Division is in Crisis and below is the reasons why we cannot function with these problems any longer. Deadlines arent being kept, staff is not showing up to appointments and the support for the leaders at the facilities from staff is absent from this equation. The usage of the Steward Councils to promote organizing campaigns, pushing of agendas not ratified, constant aggravation to the members requesting their loyalty, where is the Kaiser Divisions loyalty to us? No trainings, no regional input, no report outs but only consistent training of how to organize, agitate a member or give a CRE. Members want protection, security and fairness from their employer and their union. The priorities of this

leadership and the governing body are on opposite ends and it is our responsibility to correct this as a whole and it first starts with listening on the leadership part. The Kaiser Division Director and Sr. Staff members are making inappropriate comments to rank and file leaders, along with mischievous behavior deems inexcusable. This leadership continues to act divisive and pitting members against one another. It is disrespectful, disheartening and will no longer be tolerated. The democracy this union scarcely holds too is beginning to rapidly diminish. Instead of forming a cohesive working relationship which can benefit us all we are constantly apologizing to our

members for failed processes. Moreover, calls from staff arent being returned, emails not responded too and it has reached the point where members and leaders are just being ignored. Our house is not in order. In order for it to return to a functional body the issues listed below need to be addressed and rectified. We have been patient with how this union has been governed; we need to first start with addressing issues affecting the entire membership and move swiftly to advance on facility specific problems. This membership body has been patient, transparent and forthright in wanting to partner, however this behavior has not been reciprocated by the current leadership. This sixty plus year union is the way it is because of the knowledge of our leaders, the protection of our members and unity we share. We are tired of being in a race to the BOTTOM!
