Signing bonus blows. Good things, bad things.
If we vote no, how much longer will we have to wait for something else? 6 months, 12 months? All the while the ibt357 will continue to STEAL my money in the guise of an assessment. I get it though as those trips to Jackson Hole don't pay for themselves. I am most surely a YES vote!
I can't help thinking about forests and trees... and 6 months vs. the length of a contract that seems to cross 10 years here typically. If you're concerned about people "stealing" your money, if the IBT is taking pennies the company has been wonderfully consistent at going for far higher denominations from your back pocket. I really don't care where the negotiations happen and you shouldn't either, and as for the signing bonus - sure it's not good, but that's not even the tip of the iceberg - that should be the least of your real concerns. I'm concerned about the end result, and the bad outweighs the good by an order of merit or more. Happy voting.
