[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 3385661, member: 4992"] The Union doesn't give the members a contract. They negotiate one. But, it's up to the members to accept or decline it. If you voluntarily donate money to the IBT PAC fund, they can distribute it as they see fit. So, you want them to dedicate more money to people that are working against our best interest ? On March 10, 1968: Four Locals in my state had their first contract. It was 24 pages long. It's now, 247 pages long. Exactly.... what COLA, did the the Union give back ? And to whom ? There have only been 2 [I][U]actual[/U][/I] COLA's in the last 35 years. And the employees received them. I'm not a fan of split raises. But,[I][U] how does it save the Union anything[/U][/I] ? Just for comparisons sake.... when R Carey was General President, the general wage increase was .55 cents a year. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
