Recently a local “profiteering” non profit was handed a mandate from its employes in the form of resounding yes vote for the formation of a union. The basis for this was the maltreatment of it workers through handing the reins of the organization to a person who had no clue of the workings of the staff ,save a few who were merely “yes” people and looking to advance their own causes. In spite of the regular conversations about the improper use of “power” the CEO continued to allow this rogue leadership to go on. Now the workers have stood up and said “no More”, the day of reckoning came at the cost of 30 positions that were eliminated to try and dilute the voting pool. The end result of all this was management cajoled, threatened, promised and finally blitzed the workers with lies and ennuendo which was sorely resented by all (even by uninvolved) workers. This is an organization that serves preschool children and their parents who were failed by upper management’s insensitivities to their plight and needs while the CEO fiddled.
