Clearly needs detail about history of paid-positions, and by-whome.

[edit]

When a union rep. is paid by the business, instead of collectively supported by the members themselves, they cease to be, an integral chosen-representative. There is nothing wrong with having a regular employee SUPPORTED by political aides/volunteers / legal aides/volunteers , while depending on the same work that the regular members/strikers do.

If the NUM has already been internally gutted from some point in history, then THAT HISTORY, could easily be in a Criticisms section on the Wiki page, or controversies section, or something.

The core leadership question / obvious reason for the NUM offices having to be being demanded-FROM, after past-inadequately-explained/justified refusals of the passing-on-FORMALLY, of demands even though the company knew what those demands were already, providing time-consuming, pedantic, procedural-excuses, in other words,.. reveals just what KIND of supposed representation they were./are?

Mixed work-type unions can also be a mistake for a similar reason, when workers from one industry do not necessarily appreciate what workers from another, will, and then when a majorative vote ON a proposed actions fail, 'wildcat' or similar terms, ones , are the only last-resort. Or parallel-bribery is given to workers in-the-other/s.

No wonder business LIKES, unions that are too amalgamated/singularised, rather than smaller unions, receiving support from many-external ones ; i.e. it only takes one leadership, to-corrupt / 'incentivise'.

That too, could be in RELATED issues/material/links / BACKGROUND, (so... references,.. to other wiki material) to union fallabilities / integrity problems.

Are all pages on unions in Wikipedia, this-truncated?

This one at least, seems suspiciously-omitting background. 120.21.151.36 (talk) 12:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
