while this is true we as a group do not want any of us, and I mean all employees, on the street. We also do not want any of us unjustly taken advantage of and have their pay/benefits reduced. We should all have eachothers back right now because it's harder to take advantage of a group when everyone is standing together.
Btw I think they messed with the wrong group in this case. These guys just took 7 years to get a new contract. I dont feel that they are willing to help out right now. I hope they fax them back a middle finger.
