[QUOTE="O/C, post: 1282792, member: 52228"] I pretty much agree with your observations, with the exception of voting yes. You are sure right about the current contract language needing to be enforced, but how are we going to go about that. The disrespect that the company has shown to the Teamsters union has grown considerably since the "97" strike. Face it without the strike option, the grievance procedures are toothless. The company permits and dictates our contracts now. The whole "let them eat cake" attitude from the union leadership caused this contract to drag on and on. The members who knew anything started to ask questions and all we got was sound bites from the International. When will they learn that the "old school" standard of keeping the membership in the dark will not work with todays current technology and access to the internet. You can say anything bad about Ron Carey, but one thing he did was keep us informed during the l997 contract negotiations. Now we are in a chess match to get this contract finalized, pawns are being sacrificed along the way. Is there any possibility of re-negotating this master, who knows, maybe if they deadlock these supplements. Remember we are still currently working under the old contract, anything is possible till this one is signed and delivered. Now we are in a chess match to get this contract finalized, [/QUOTE]
