What exactly are you fighting about? Let's work towards a common goal and a common enemy guys.
Unpaid? Hardly, wait till you see all the budgets and trip drops since 2010 when the old MEC stopped following the bylaws and publishing it. These guys were paid handsomely and got holidays off. I guess word is already getting out on how much or how little some of them worked for us. Paul H, got a sweet payday last year from our dues, 77k I believe? There is almost 1300 of us now, and the same 10 names keep trying to hold us back, this takes up so much time and resource fighting these same individuals each week. I want a contract yesterday, but these few people constantly try to drag down anyone that is not in lock step with their hard core socialist union mentality.
