I wonder how many of us carry around a mental model of what the union is
(not only those of us in management , ownership, etc but also those of us
in unions, rank and file and leadersh). It's easier to carry the old
mental model around instead of taking the time and energy to intereact
with each other to develop a new mental model for the relationship that
your in.
