Pre-Strike Posting #4: Moving on to the Next Step

So the union has asked the employer to provide it's final offer for the members to vote on by the end of the month. The union claims the government keeps turning down their requests and that the deal they are offering is not worth signing. I'm neither a big union supporter nor anti-union. If anything, I'd be a little pro-union. But why is it that I don't even trust what my own union says? Others I work with feel the same way. Is the union leadership out of touch with its membership? Or is my office off on a world of its own? The vote on the contract comes at the end of May. I suppose we will find out then.
