If there were ever a question as to what the definition of “union busting” is, here is an example:
The city police union overwhelming voted to decertify from AFSCME Council 15 Tuesday night.
The vote was 217 for and 12 against the decision, said Louis Cavaliere Jr., local union president. Breaking away from AFSCME has been in the works for about a year, he said, and members have informally being talking about it for the last 15 years or so.
The union has been an AFSCME member for at least 60 years, he said.
….
“The members obviously didn’t have much trust in Council 15 and their representation,” Cavaliere said. “It shows our members are ready to explore new avenues.”
One does wonder, with such overwhelming sentiment against the union, why the 12 that voted to remain unionized by AFSCME voted that way.
