Will the dock worker strike affect us?

I’m not certain what he’s talking about. He never extended the contract. He said we would be walking August 1.

In this regard he did back peddle a little bit. My steward said it looked weak when he said we're gonna wait to see the outcome of the vote (which was after August 1st. He is a politician after all and most people voted yes so it's whatever. Still better than Scab Hoffa JR.

I’m not certain what he’s talking about. He never extended the contract. He said we would be walking August 1., he’s got a pretty good record of taking people on strike when there contract expires. Our contract was voted on by the members and overwhelmingly passed. The only people we have to blame is ourselves if people wanted something else.

But it was BS how long we had to wait for our retro.

Absolutely. But you are already at the 100 yard line...time to make the u-turn and head towards the locker room and turn in your tracksuit and jockstrap buddy.
