I didn't vote yes based upon pay. There are much more important issues out there than a buck here or there. It's just unfortunate that that's what most “only” care about. Will we get a pay raise after a lengthy negotiation with Mgmnt? More than likely, but there are more pressing issues, issues that no one seems to care about until it's too late. I have car, health, life, dental, vision, home owners, lose of license, and short tern disability insurance. We can never cover ourselves to much. After all, our livelihood and our career’s are way to fragile to take an uninsured chance on.
