Keep us focused on stuff we have no control over while our pockets get picked by the union.

Its really OK if the membership is not satisfied and wants to send the officers back to see if they can get something better. Its unfortunate what is happening in our industry. Every union in the country is going through the same pain. Just remember two things; the company could and would just implement their proposals if you didnt belong to a labor union and stay together on your issues the company loves dissension and you are just playing into their hands.<br />I noticed they just paid off another executive while trying to nickel and dime the people who do the real work for them.

In any case, it may not have been a sound rejection with only about half voting, but it does seem to be 2/3 of the voting group; and that usually does represent the majority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20863951.post-56278102855357942372011-11-22T16:17:36.338-08:002011-11-22T16:17:36.338-08:00all this time and that's the best you can do? ...all this time and that's the best you can do? i remember the first contract and hearing , don't worry we'll get a better contract next time. i guess this is next time? what choice do we have now, the crappy first contract or none at all...and for this, we pay?<br />go ahead spin doctor, tell us what a great job you are doing. the great Oz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20863951.post-88461786619435869782011-11-22T13:51:52.745-08:002011-11-22T13:51:52.745-08:0036 to 24 is a sound rejection?36 to 24 is a sound rejection?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
