710, 705?

[cachsux]

Never said we would. It's possible. Either way there's no reason to just bend over the minute they unzip.

I would rather wait, and keep current insurance then give in. We have to at least hope our local leaders won't cave.

Insurance is a lost cause. The battle would be for better language, more smaller things like additional option days, better pay for pt's.

It will be. But for now the old plans are in effect so get out and get everything taken care of that you might need.

I did talk with the union today and there are still no new talks scheduled. In light of today's recent developments with 710's secretary - treasurer new talks may be put on hold for some time. We as 710 members are going to have to show patience and unity during this time.

What's going on with right to work right now in Illinois?
Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Supreme Court issues narrow ruling against labor unions

I think that's a issue with contractors. I don't believe they're paid AS EMPLOIYEES.
That's the big thing that alot of people are missing

I haven't followed it closely, but AFAIK, "Harris" had the option of paying an agency/service fee instead of the full regular dues. I believe that this particular bargaining unit will now be allowed to become "freeriders", or RTW. They are under the jurisdiction of Illinois' public sector labor law.

They are paid with Medicare/Medicaid funds, administered by the State. "Harris" is paid to take care of her son. The State is not 'controlling' the worker/work environment in the traditional employer/employee sense.
