[QUOTE="8Keys, post: 1201949, member: 48236"] The IBT oversells everything for as long as I've been in the union. Every communication, public or private, seems to be primarily about patting themselves on the back and puffing the chest out. It comes at the expense of credibility. What if they release press info about how great an agreement is and then the membership ends up striking? It would make the membership look terrible. How will people feel if a concession ends up really hurting them and the contract info completely glossed over it? We've been through some tough years and the job market on the outside is very competitive. This contract might have been an easier sell if it were portrayed as the compromise it is instead of a glorious triumph. [/QUOTE]
