If you only had a clue.
I'm sorry I tried to reason and be respectful to you. It doesn't work with you.
Hopefully you guys get what you want. We strike them, they break the union and you can blame Hoffa. Then you guys will be satisfied.
Save your money. It's coming.
If the demeanor of the ibt has truly changed and the newly appointed folks are serious about supporting the members in a balanced way it appears that this will get settled early because both sides have a lot to lose. It's going to be a difficult balancing act for the central region for sure BUT we've started communication earlier and in a broader way so that is a positive change.
After they spend billions raising the starting wage rate for part-time employees, then the spend billions fixing the pensions and spend billions on the healthcare what else will be left?
The full-time people want more money in their checks also.
Save your money now. When we strike and your coworker cross and they will where will you be?
There's a lot of different mindsets in a union membership. There's animosity left over from the last CBA debacle as well and that doesn't help.
The
only thing that will fix this early is being able to sell it to the stewards and the respected BAs (there are
some of those BAs left) early and support them in ways that helps to make them assured that there's no surprises this time. Stewards can pass a contract if they are honestly informed and supported.
In the Central Region they have worked tirelessly to reach out. Many have seen it. And those that understand the ramifications of stupidly just voting NO know that it's Showtime for this membership.
but my right to express my feeling has been suspended!
