[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1135122, member: 29553"] You are right about the coffee break for the unborn. That was taken away by old board. That can ONLY be fixed we are in the green zone (80%). However, for an increase in pensions, NEW MONIES would have to be introduced. ANd this new contract gives us that. About leadership, right now we do have leadership. They kept us literally in the room during negotiations unlike the old board who kept us in the dark then at the last minute said : Here it is, fair for the times, vote yes!! Leadership is also about making difficult decisions. Bargaining is about give and take. Last time we only GAVE...concessions that is. This time we WON things, like 100 new FT positions and the large bump in our FT pensions. ANd they did it without having to use any of our raises like they had to do in local 177 in new jersey.
