See this I don’t understand. With the performance of the company and the economy, we are CLEARLY due a beneficial contract in EVERY section. So why are we content to just sit on our hands and let the company drag it out with ZERO pressure what so ever?? If we were looking at concessions, sure! Take as long as you want!
But each day we don’t have a new contract saves the company money and costs us money. Retro schmetro. One; it’s never FULL retro, and two, many of the benefits I expect aren’t pay related. So each day we go without a contract is a loss for us. Yet there appears to be NO pressure to get this done in the media, picketing etc. They can just drag their feet with no consequences that I see. The company expressed that a contract would be on time: they failed to deliver. I would LOVE to see less patience and more action for my union dues.
