[QUOTE="Stonefish, post: 1282811, member: 50401"] How we enforce the language is file and hold people accountable. We disagree with each other on the company permits and dictates our contracts. I feel there could be strike issues but there aren't any in Ohio. The National and Central passed now we are into the Ohio Rider. There is nothing in the Ohio Rider that can be changed to make some people happy they are going to continue the no vote no matter what. Regardless of what people try to say it would be illegal to open the National or Central and the Ohio Rider can't change them. I think the IBT [B]and[/B] the membership learned a lot from this situation. IBT should have communicated better throughout (which GST Hall admitted to already) and the membership should have got involved in the process from the beginning with proposal meetings, submitting their proposals in greater numbers. No one knew what was going to be proposed on either side before negotiations so for someone to say they would have been at the meetings or sent in proposals if they knew is hogwash. They had opportunity. Strike is an option but not a good one in my opinion. There is too much to lose regarding this particular situation with the climate union's are in. There are situations where we will need to use it be not now in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
