Valid and salient points but will not go anywhere, especially with a self centered and "all about me" group of folks like we have here ............... I don't see anyone really out there to support the Junior guys and gals, not even our own Union !!! The last "go around" of negotiations ended up in a blur and "sprinkles of money all over the place". See, that is what folks want around here ................ $$$ first and then maybe complain about it later. Hiding Calendars, same constant carryover bidders, blah, blah, blah.
We have only proved to this Company, that we are a miserable bunch not capable of helping ourselves out of a wet paper bag ............... STRIKE FIRST then work it out ? Not with this current leadership and work group.
This is NOT Europe, this is USA style of working conditions designed to protect the EMPLOYERS, not the employees ............................. Just take a look at how the NLRB decision for GROUND drivers was struck down on Appeal motions by the Company !!! Don't kid yourselves ...................................
