This is what you get when you don't have leaders negotiating for improved benefits.One of our recent retirees said his just went up $100/month.
Also what you get when people don't vote on issues that greatly affect their futures.This is what you get when you don't have leaders negotiating for improved benefits.
Our leaders seem to negotiate from a position of what the current members are willing to give up.
Say what?I know about boiling the frog slowly scenario and how it applies.
The problem today is finding a frog that cares enough to jump.

Be thankful for what we have but watch the horizon for what's coming.
Times are changing. Business is changing.
There's no easy answers but not voting on CBA's and national issues is the auger that the bacteria of dilution grows on.
Pretty much.U been quiet bug. All the OG roosters are in hiding ...
I am sure that friends on here may be disappointed in my next statement but here goes anyway....Where ?
Any verifiable proof ?
Or, is this just locker room talk.
Yep.
The uncertainty of change, is what scares people.
Spot on observation.... and nice verbiage.

We (you and I) have different dynamics. You have great representation and believable info.At least one if finally seeing it. Killing the goose that laid the golden egg ain't all its cooked up to be.
This is where you just lost TDU. BUG, I have the utmost respect for you, but you just destroyed this thread by asking for proof. Now the ten TD-LUsers will regurgitate the same "I heard that too", in an effort to validate this rumor. Way to go, you wrecked it! With asking for proof!Any verifiable proof?

We at Local 89 did vote on the issues. Turned it down twice but got the contract imposed on us.Also what you get when people don't vote on issues that greatly affect their futures.
Company netted 1 bil/yr in 1995-1997 yrs and healthcare was at no cost to employees.
Now they net 9.9 bil, spent 5 bil on purchasing other companies (etc) leaving 4+ bil left over and healthcare is now going to cost each hrly more.
Be thankful for what we have but watch the horizon for what's coming.

The federal government is yet asking to tax the corporations even more (under this potus directives) so more of them can try to move out of the USA to survive the cheap competition nipping at their bottom line market share here.
There's no easy answers but not voting on CBA's and national issues is the auger that the bacteria of dilution grows on.
People in Afghanistan risked their very lives to vote for their new leadership and Americans can't even return a free ballot in the mail or stop at the SAFE voting booth for fifteen minutes.
Pathetic.

Your local is awesome. You folks got it forced on you. "They" say there were other issues but that should not have happened.We at Local 89 did vote on the issues. Turned it down twice but got the contract imposed on us.
I think it's important to note that you turned down your "supplement".We at Local 89 did vote on the issues. Turned it down twice but got the contract imposed on us.
I think it's also important to note that the rooster and his suckerman bad breath leader never bargained in good faith. They could have gotten the world and Fred would have turned it down. He had political ambitions.I think it's important to note that you turned down your "supplement".
They also voted against the NMA by way over 90%.I think it's important to note that you turned down your "supplement".
Was the NMA voted down?They also voted against the NMA by way over 90%.
There's a ton of part timers in LouKy that wait years for a full time job so I'm sure they were thrilled with an extra year of progression and tcd's bumping them out of a permanent ft driving opportunity.
I've been there multiple times over the last two decades and I've heard the members frustration of waiting for the elusive ft jobs there. I'd be frustrated with the language changes too if I was in their position.
In their local it was.Was the NMA voted down?
