Cliff Merritt and the Very Candid Candidate #nn

A cartoon story depicting a union election among railroad workers, in which an older candidate, George Elder, faces opposition from younger members who question whether his approach remains relevant. Cliff Merritt, a union representative, engages in conversations about union activism, citing past legislative victories such as the Railway Labor Act and HR-706, while weighing the merits of experienced leadership against the need for fresh perspectives. The narrative concludes with advice on union citizenship: members should familiarize themselves with their union constitution, learn its history, attend meetings, and maintain respect for those who pay dues, as union workers are central to their organization's mission.
