two thoughts
1. one of the ideas of the 'call center' is to free up in-site organizers to come to the facility more often by having an off-site resource center rep answer common questions or individual/non-group grievances. in local 1 in chicago, they created 'routes' for internal organizers to make sure they got to the shop floor more often.
2. your own president, sal rosselli, praised the idea of member resource centers as recently as one year ago. now he's against them since there is a dispute with some other SEIU leadership? it seems an opportunistic argument.
the same way some on labornotes would ask us to question our national leadership when necessary, a fine point, i would ask you to do the same with your local leadership from time to time as well.
there are legit points of contention at this convention, but i hope we will be in unity going forward in our great unions. peace.
