Based upon your direct observation of our current management team, not to mention their 4 pillars demand, can you say with any confidence that your entire compensation package and QOL would still be the same without the protections of a CBA that was "forced" upon you?
Given that we were forced to merge and under the tender ministrations of CMH, I agree with you that things would be worse without the CBA. However, I also believe things for the NJI people would be as good financially, and with a better company culture and a better quality of life if we had not been forced to merge. Not a big deal, however, as the union seems to be reasonable, as I have said before. So I am content. Just worried a little that the union might press for too much.
