I encountered a similar group at a local grocery store..the Alaska Workers Association. The organizers at the store seemed like they really believed in the stated goals of the organization. I was interested, so I went in to find out more. They put me to work right away, canvassing a neighborhood for members, which I thought was ridiculous, since I knew next to nothing about the organization next to some general goals. The full time volunteer struck me as very odd- bullying. My experience sounds very similar to others. I eventually stopped answering their calls after doing some research into what the Workers Association was really about- deception and manipulation. Now the cadre has started calling me from a caller-ID blocked number! I can't believe how aggressive they are...
