It seems strange me that most of the debate on "The Tentative Agreement" is occurring on the "Cape Breton Local Forum".
I had to search out and find this forum because it seems to be the only CUPW forum in Canada.
Why isn't there a forum on the CUPW National Website?
The most obvious place for CUPW members to give feedback on contract issues would be on this site. Members could also vote on polls relating to concerns on CTI and other issues. A password could be given to ensure that each member only voted once. For those who don't use the internet, phone polls or mail polls could be used as well.
The NEB and local executives throughout the country should push to get the 50,000 membership involved with contract talks. Let's invite their participation with a user-friendly forum on the National website.
There used to be a forum on the CUPW Sudbury website, but that disappeared sometime ago.
What happened to the Sudbury posties? They probably retired.
