[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 53007"] m2c, You do in fact have some local bargaining agents that are not IBT. In some pockets of the country there are PE mechanics and Auto Mechanics covered by the Machinist's Union instead of the IBT so in some cases it just might be possible to have a local agent different from the larger part of the country. If it's gonna happen it will be down South where labor unions have never had advantages and strengths with the political powers like they have enjoyed elsewhere. Also I'm sure there are feelings within political circles of power that a deminished IBT would be a good thing and APWA or other efforts may be given special favor where possible. This process will be interesting but what I see even better are the issues coming out onto the table for all to see who want to see them and that is the best part of all. I don't believe we've ever been in a position to be fully informed but with what happened to the pension system may have started to awaken the masses and in the future this may change. Another powerful weapon is what you and I are using right now and that is the internet where we all across the country can communicate directly and this scares both sides IMO. [/QUOTE]
