There is no room on this blog for questions about wages and pension or contract negotiations. They are counter productive and go against what the union stands for. Why do you want to be the demise of the american worker? The union will stop us from paying 35% for health care. Thats money in your pocket asshole.

All you are going to get out of your approach is a pair of sore arms that with out a contract may cost you 35% or more of your income to be treated by a physician. God forbid you'll need surgery. And if you need to be wrongly disciplined by the company, you can go it on your own. If you have a legitimate issue, voice it. As for your claim of lots of people fed up with the BS as you so eloquently phrased it I find your argument lacking for facts. Why don't you and the other person you referenced as "lots of other people" both put your 2 heads together and come up with something constructive. I have had my share of questions asked of me about the negotiations and from what I see the reasponse is positive and supportive of the effort being made. And your predetermined "no" on the contract, well, I'm glad you are smart enough to read the contract and made a well informed decision to vote against yourself and your future and are more than willing to pay out the ass to make a statement and help propel the American worker down the Brito highway heading for the exit that says "Welcome to Britoland" and becoming a third world peon.

We need to be professional. I can understand your frustration with people that do not want a union. However getting that angry over comments that are designed to make you feel that way doesnt help you , us, or anyone trying to reach an agreement. I bet if you dont respond negatively these individuals will fade away. They will because they do not have the drive to help all of us. Thats what this is all about.They think that some how they will be rewarded by the company for speaking out against the majority of the plant. We, the people of the plant who voted to bring 363 in to represent us,did so to help us protect ourselves and our futures by asking the company for a commitment.A contract between us to show us that for our professional dedication the company would reciprocate gauranteeing that our policies and benefits and wages would be put down on paper,in legal form. No more interpretations from crew to crew. legal recourse ensuring that everything is done correctly and the comfort of knowing what your wages and benefits will be in the future.

We've wasted our free time by not allowing these people to bail us out. How bout you no voters speak up and contact a rep now ....you can have my seat I'm only holding up the works.

What a rush! <br />8:01; NO we didn't cross the wage and benefit bridge, hell, we're not even in line at the toll booth yet. But we have covered a lot of ground in other areas. No one said that this would just magically appear as a signed contract overnight. Patience was asked of the team members. The reps and management teams are trying to insure that nobody, read: team member or company gets screwed on this contract. So I suggest that you and your army of tired no votes take a seat and see what pans out. Perhaps you and your disaffected horde should take a positive interest in what's happening instead of the impatient pessimistic approach you are trying now. Just remember this if you vote no just to vote no to the contract and all other negotiations fail; the company can impose whatever conditions it wants until an agreement can be made. So if you are with us act like it. If not, enjoy being in the minority.I Call Them As I See Themnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779589689215757737.post-71882983668075895012010-12-21T14:42:09.142-05:002010-12-21T14:42:09.142-05:00LMAO.................support our reps.
