[QUOTE="Arizax2, post: 5660567, member: 21120"] Yes HR got chopped down again this week. As far as I know all PT HR folks around the country last day is this coming Friday. Last month there was a volunteer separation buyout for other staff functions as well. Another wave of buyout again by end of August. Reality is the company has to balance things out and if they are going to increase union salaries they will take it away from mangment before they report losses on their balance sheet. Regardless of the disagreements between mangment and union, the truth is local management gets the short end of the stick. Remember there was a 5 year plan of removing mangment pension that officially ended January. This wasn't a mistake it happens to fall on a contract year. The company is running super lean and it's starting with mangment first. Once automation hits on a higher level it will affect the union by the next contract. Less workers means less mangment people. This contract in my opinion will expedite that process. [/QUOTE]
