Replying to LO4348 --

Joe Haley and RonFessenden talked about being ready and taking 'empowerment'.

In my experiences as both an OD and Labor Relations consultant I'd like to
lend my 'voice' to the "when they're ready, they'll take it" view. I'd
say that often, in union organizing, the essence of being ready to take it
is what propels the membership toward taking some control in their lives.
They will take the empowerment a tad bit differently than some of the
management teams had hoped!! But they sure do buy into the we're ready to
have some voice in our work lives theory!
