What the old union did is over with. It’s time to start fresh and with a mindset that doesn’t worry about the PP’s or 824’s but with the people hired in the last 4-5 years.
Reach out to your P2P’s, show up to town halls, make your voice heard so that we approach issues from a single point and not as if we are four different groups wanting different things.
This is big. I think the Union has been torn by having to represent several different groups in the past. The lifers, 824s, PPs, new hires. And each of these groups has different priorities. The lifers gained nothing from the last LOA that is accelerating the flow of the PPs.
If we can find common ground amongst all groups and present a unified front, maybe we could make more progress. I think we can all agree that increased pay is something we want. That benefits everyone.
