Fail? That is what will happen if we don't organize. With DB in power now things may be ok, but what happens 10 years from now when there is a whole new management group? We know that most of us plan on being with JB for a lifetime. We better protect our careers now since this thing will take a while to get rolling.
All I can say is if another company steps in with our current contracts we are all unemployed and we know it. There is no protection in our contracts, none, its a paper dream. It's just hogwash to believe the company saying we are protected if we were to be bought out.
No A/B fund, poor health coverage, low wages compared to the industry. Lets go and get this done together and start protecting our jobs. We know its a great company to work for but we have work to do and have little time to waste. Good Luck!
