We have some very brave reps taking a stand for us. Taking heat for us. Support them, they are the key to attaining our goals.
Your participation matters so much more than you can imagine. Find the emails of the negotiators and write to let them know you support them. I promise you it makes a difference.
I do it regularly, do you?
What are you doing as an individual to ensure a historic C2015? Take 5 minutes a month to pull the wagon and not just ride in it.
I 100% agree. I have started to attend meetings as well as keep in contact with my reps. This very possibly could be the best negotiating environment I will see in my career.
The wild card is DPA. You and I both know that they will not get the cards needed before C2015, if you want unity DPA needs to go away. Either permanently are go on an announced sabbatical to return if C2015 is not historic. With DPA in the picture this is not a unified group in either appearance or reality.
