No Democratic Process

Communication with membership is an important function of union organizations. With today's rapidly moving society, you have to communicate with members not only through Shop Stewards, bulletin boards and newsletters, but by fax, email and yes, even via web page.

SGEU has a web site located here. Read about SGEU on their about us page located here and learn more about their history here. If you are so inclined, you can download a copy of SGEU's History book "For Dignity, Equality, and Justice' by Doug Taylor here a chapter at a time.

Please note, the folks at SGEU outsource online document storage to a firm called Web Networks. Now, it doesn't take too much skill to upload documents into your own web site. Outsourcing a service to a company that you can keep in house just seems stupid to me (and could save SGEU some money - cheap too, right?)


Previously, No Democratic Process blogged an article 'How to Influence 2 Percent of the Entire Population' which related how Unions are expressing their election issues and included a link to a SGEU distributed document entitled 'Saskatchewan Election - a Guide for SGEU Members'

Now, any organization that represents 2 percent of Saskatchewan's 'almost a million' people should have enough cash to buy what they need, they should have the staff to process paper work, including accountants to make sure what they use is bought and paid for. Or are they?

Astute readers who downloaded Election Guide for SGEU Members document spotted a Wolf, and immediately reported a sighting included on THE VERY LAST PAGE OF THE PDF VERSION OF SGEU's GUIDE.
