[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3819202, member: 63706"] You are completely uncoupled from reality. Keep telling yourself that we haven't been sold out, and that we have a great contract. Maybe someday it may become true. Opinions are [I]subjective[/I], by definition. You can't even tell the difference between fact and opinion, yet you think you can lecture other people on what's real? Do you know how multi-employer pensions funds work? Do you have a way to guarantee that any pension fund besides the western conference will be solvent in twenty years? You say we are getting raises, but that's only even sort of true as long as inflation remains average or lower. Inflation rates between 2.5% and 4.5% will actually erode the buying power of our wages. I'm willing to meet in the middle and say that our wages will remain around the same, adjusted for inflation, or go up slightly. If that's enough for you to buy into 22.4 as it is, then you come super cheap. But you aren't the one paying the price, so you don't care. Or you do realize the price that others will be paying for your security, and you live in a constant state of denial so you don't have to confront the fact that you sold them out. You admit that 99.9% of the time going against the IBT doesn't work, yet you say it like that's not a problem. IBT does not give us consent to vote how we deem fit. We tell them to renegotiate, and they lie and say the constitution gives them no choice but to ignore us. I hope, for your sake, that one day those IBT blinders fall away. [/QUOTE]
