***THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HOLD OUT, BIG BIG GAINS AND REWARDS************* | Hey Pal,
3/4's of these were in the origional supplement that we voted down. There were 4 improvements, the best being part timers won't take a pay cut to go driving. The other three are too petty to list. Why don't you pull up the other supplements that surround ours and compare them. Then you will see they didn't offer any REAL gains, We get the scraps! They didn't even bother to use our proposals from our building or have a meeting before they re-negotiated. Thanks for being a "cheerleader" though. | |
