-A- hoaxer's family confessed. The legend of Sasquatch preceded said hoaxer.

That was the case for me until just a couple years ago, when I asked my landlady for her bank info for me to give to my credit union so they can send a check directly. Not a strictly electronic fund transfer, they actually do cut a physical check, but I don't have to write it.

At least union members elect their officers. And where and how to spend money in politics is discussed at COPE meetings. There are legit criticisms of union democracy, but at least it's nominally a thing.
