OH yeah, some union reps have vigorously claimed recently that there is no SWAPA "sales job," and aggressivly attacks anyone who dares to doubt or show any skeptisism based on historical precedent from multiple boards who may or may not have all said the SAME WORDS! Well despite the stated position of certain union reps, the union sales pitch started last week!

"I trust them. They've been doing the work. They know better than me. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me ...," are the types of comments that stem from union functionaries telling people what a great product they have and how everybody else will regret leaving. The result is unengaged, apathetic, uneducated voters!

Those are the same type of voters who told me that they voted for the last contract cause "Weaks was voting yes." And now that contract that 84% LOVED in 2016 is raked over the coals daily by the majority of our group due to its deficiencies.

PEOPLE, THINK FOR YOURSELF. "SWAPA SPEAKS FOR ME" IS LAZY AND PROMOTES A MINDSET OF APATHY.
KNOW YOUR WORTH.
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
DO NOT TRUST ANYBODY ELSE'S SUBJECTIVE DETERMINIATION OF HOW GOOD THE CONTRACT IS FOR YOU!
ANYBODY WHO TELLS YOU THAT THEY'RE NOT SELLING YOU ANYTHING IS SELLING YOU SOMETHING!
