A young worker writes...

"I am a member of Amicus. When I joined AMICUS two months ago there was one Union rep in my workplace because another rep had just retired. Both of these reps were honest unionists cowed by their fellow workers' apathy rather then being the bosses' lackeys.
However today I discovered that the replacement rep is actually a manager. Looking in the union's constitution there seems to be no bar to this, even though there is a obvious conflict of interest.

If possible please can you give me some advice about what I can do?

Unfortunately I dont have any real experience of unionism, and any advice will be welcome".
