[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3712135, member: 49065"] Correct.. It was meant to be funny. :thumbup1: Maybe, just maybe with the Feds not breathing down their necks the International can use those gained resources and go back to negotiating good contracts without concessions again. Does anybody ever remember any contract over the last 25 years that was a clear "Knock Out" by the Union. The "97" one was a 12th round split decision with the Union winning on a points. The oversight might be ending on paper, but we all know somebody will be looking at somebody with one eye open in the future. They could come back bigger and stronger than before, the Crooks or the Feds. It depends on the strength of our membership and the International willingness to stick up for the little guy again and live up to it's motto/core value of "People helping People". A change is coming not matter how this contract goes, just read the coming weather clouds, a storm is brewing. :thunderstorm: [/QUOTE]
