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?
respectfully you are after the wrong guy with Dave....he’s a good one. There are avenues to take if you disagree with the strategy. If the leaders don’t listen then there are more aggressive avenues. Dave knows EXACTLY how those processes work.
Ultimately the Union is our voice because we tell them what we want.
