It io every union member's responsibility to see to it that
management "lives up to" all the terms of the agreement.
It is the duty of every worker to "keep his/her ears open" for
information that might be useful to the union.
Moving ahead in the company is more important than staying in
the union.
I feel LITTLE loyalty to the union.
As long as I am doing the kind of work I enjoy, it does not
matter if I belong to this union.
It is every member's duty to support or help another worker
use the grievance procedure.
I am willing to put a great deal of effort beyond that n o r ­
mally expected of a member in order to make the union
su c c e s s f u l .
I could just as well work in a nonunion company as long as
the type of work was similar
I have little confidence and trust in most officers of the
union.
I tell my f’
•lends that the union ic a great organisation to
be a member of

The record of the union i3 a good example of what dedicated

Very little that the membership wants has any real import­
