CE750Driver,

I apologize. I was unaware of your communication efforts before the FAB 5. I also appreciate your efforts to get folks to not extend. I think had the MEC been behind that effort, the contract would already be done.

I still disagree with you about SU. I think they were handed a crap sandwich by the previous MEC and Local 284 and are doing their best to repair all the damage without having to take a bite. I also think that things are gonna start hopping in the next couple of weeks or I'll be right there with you asking why it hasn't.

Griz, I started the Communications Committee at the request of DR. The MEC chairman before the FAB 5. I wasnt in the good graces with the 5, so when they got in they appointed someone else. I still have the old senority list with guys I talked to personally on the phone and said they would participate. Then I got married and kids came, and more motivated people came in, so Im in the wings at the moment.

I hope you are right about SU. Either way, I will support them, but I will be a bit sceptical till I see some movement one way or another. Canceling or moving negotiation days kinda pisses me off. There will always be busy days, and the company will say they cant afford to have guys off the line again. I hope SU makes them pay.

Wow Roger, thats funny. I supported ridding ourselves of that group, and still support SU financially and otherwise. Obviously Ce750drvr, you havent been around long enough to know your azz from a hole in the ground.

Im done posting on this subject. You all can beleive what you want, but in 2 more years, when we get another not so stellar contract to vote on, I will silently be laughing. Hopefully at another company.

Stay united and try hard. Stay on SU like we should have stayed on the promises of the Fab 5.

I will give you the fact that you can't tell the tone of a post. If you read the last sentence, I was taking a pot shot out of fun. Lighten up, I have been around NJ a lot longer than MOST. I volunteer my time for SU and am involved in two committees. Rome wasn't built in a day much less 30 days. SU has a plan and they are sticking to it. Give them at least a little time. Jeez, could you do it any quicker? If so, put it in writing and give it to SU, they are open to all suggetions. PM me if you want to discuss this further (as professionals, no tone, just constructive), I can answer any questions, that's my job as a SU representitve.

Take care
