This was done, according to AFT, because the E-board had violated their constitution (by planning to hold a membership meeting in July) and misappropriated funds (by financing a meeting in July). The meeting's purpose was to ask the membership for a permission to have a vote on disaffiliation. The real reason AFT took this action appears to be to stop that vote from happening. To dis-allow the democratic process as outlined in the local constitution.<br /><br />Please help us get our union back by contacting the trustees at the OFNHP office 503-657-9974 or the website using the "contact us" button at OFNHP.org<br /><br />Also contact Randi Weingarten at AFT national offices 202-879-4400 or on their website, AFT.org using the contact us selection.roseyJnoreply@blogger.com
