you missed my point. I have ZERO issues with that statement. It’s the guys who write long dissertations about how things should be handled, and THEN say “my union speaks for me”. See the difference?

Most of these guys seem to think that “negotiating in public” only applies to ideas regarding furlough mitigation. By definition, that’s not accurate. If you offer your perspective, and what you are willing or NOT willing to accept.......you’re negotiating in public. That’s not letting your union speak for you.

YOUR post isn’t what I was referring to.

although......a short peek at your post history leads me to believe that the shoe fits.

hypothetical question for you.....does your union also speak for you when you disagree with their strategy?
