Let's make it a good stepping stone and move on when the time comes.
Please call your union reps. The LASA MEC is not negotiating. They are throwing around ultimatums that are simply not in the best interests of anybody except for the top 5%. They are running a political campaign for their own personal gain and not the greater good of the combined group. We are getting laughed at by management and this really is ridiculous when you hear the demands.
