[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1162920, member: 29553"] Incredible, the losers of the last 2 elections and their pals push a NO vote on a strong supplement. So now they take away the VCDs and we lose more summer vacation. Fine, back to status quo of 10% of the center. So now they take away the expedited grievance procedure and now wait 9 months again for a case to be heard. Great the nameless, gutless have no clue what to do now. Vote No, that's all they got. "This contract sucks" "Ron carey would be turning over in his grave!" Really?? A supplement that rewarded us with a $400 increase?? A supplement that rewarded us with 100 new Full time jobs?? That found a way to get us more summer vacation as well as another opportunity for part timers to gain experience to go driving. A supplement that now guarantees us drivers, clerks and car washers and inside workers 8 hrs of work if lay offs occur (presently under the current contract we are only guaranteed 4.5). That allows transfers to ANY building in our local. That speeds up the grievance procedure that usually works against us as management piles up a paper trail of offenses that build up over time.(But the sky is falling crowd think "now they can fire us quicker"?? ) I mean what the hell is wrong with these chicken littles. Talk about comedy relief, we have people saying they are ready to strike now. LOL, this coming from members who don't have any balls to put in grievances when they see sups working, etc or attend union meetings. Rebels without a clue. Its like "yeah we voted it down...now what!!" Well, I bet we will not see it get any stronger. Getting rid of VCDs ALSO hurts part timers trying to go full time as well as younger drivers who want summer vacation WHILE THEIR YOUNG to enjoy with their kids. Like I said before, this supplement went down because of lots of misinformation and outright lies . I still would bet the exact same supplement WOULD PASS if a real get out the vote campaign with lots of detail about the language was done. So many members voted no for wrong and misinformed reasons. For this I blame the old guard, sky is falling crew PLUS our E/B for being too confident this supplement would sell itself ($400 pension increase, 100 new FT jobs, fixed some language problems) PLUS a misinformed membership that voted blindly JUST BECAUSE WE ALWAYS VOTE DOWN THE FIRST OFFER!! It makes you want to bang your head against the wall. Well, members of the NO-it -all crew, you got your wish. Now the adults in the room (our board) have to try and salvage a good contract for us.
