So how do you figure that no retribution will be taken against people who stand up to management?
The two things are completely different situations, one deals with a leadership group not fairly representing their membership or allowing the democratic process to be the deciding factor, the other involves someone who is trying to have their cake and eat it too, rather then accept what is expected out of them by choosing to be a union member and enjoy the benefits of that choice.

The union is the employees, not their office, unions work democratically, if your membership votes in favour of strike action, then that is the action you take, not happy with it? Leave the union, it's part of the package with the benefits you get from it, that person knows that going into it.

Where did I say management wouldn't try to get retribution? I'm not saying they will or won't. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt. Management can do what they like, with or without a union, fortunately with a union you don't have to accept it when it starts to cross a line or infringes on your rights.
