The BOD tried to make an arguement against the petition and it was weak at best. In addition the sponsor of the petition agreed to fix the language with our president of our union, but he declined!
I truely believe our BOD think they are in the know and therefore are more educated to make an informed decision...even though our union president readily admits our company won't show them ALL the books. WE are back to status quo with the NPA just like the great decisions our past president made including his LOA's, we are in for more of the same.....unless we can vote MEMRAT in!
I don't know about you, but I don't like what our union is doing with all these LOA's, it is allowing our company to cherry pick parts of our contract that they want addressed, which in turn is giving us less and less leverage to get them to the table to negotiate, it has been 3 years enough is enough.
Here is some of the weak agruments against MEMRAT;
-Sometimes our company wants to make a deal
THAT DAY MEMRAT would prevent this, well they can still sign that day and it goes into effect immediatly for 31 days, if it is a win/win then it will be voted in by the membership if it is not (as most LOA's are) in will get voted down. SEe the company can fool 6 guys but highly unlikely to fool 1600 guy/gals. Also keep this in mind 4 of the 6 BOD members voted FOR TA-2 ro what ever it was called.
-MEMRAT doesn't represent the minority voter. We live in a democratic society welcome to the US of A, also that is how our contract will ultimately be voted in are you saying it is OK for that but not for MEMRAT......weak
-it costs to much....I mean honestly I don't even have to answer that...folks this is our QOL that is at stake here do you really want to put a price on that?
In summary your BOD doesn't think you are smart enough to vote on LOA's.....hows that make you feel?, that's what I thought, now show our BOD that you can vote and that you want your voice to be heard when it comes to making decisions that effects your life!! Support MEMRAT
