Oct. 17. This could be our freedom from the union day.

It's a different world post 9/11.

I received a 38% raise when the first TWU contract was ratified.

Good Luck!

"Good luck" is right. Casino employees say the same thing when you walk in the door.

I guess it doesn't what company got the whopping 38% pay raise. It was probably a freak-of-nature fluke that you got that much of a pay raise.

What I look forward to with the union is sitting next to worthless, lazy bastards who just sit there, don't do sh*t and get a check. Had a guy last week that was sitting at his desk with his feet up not doing anything, and he said "see, this is what a union contract does for you." We might as well put a cardboard cutout of someone in his spot. This type of parasite is worthless just like a union but hey, you can't fire him for being worthless. He has PROTECTION! This effing tool can sit there, be a bloody sh*tstain and KEEP HIS JOB!

Pathetic.

So true

Well that pretty much sums up my opinion of unions. I have always felt they only protected worthless pieces of sh!t and in most circumstances did very little for the real workers. I am SO glad we voted down the union who wanted to come in here.

...bloody sh*tstain...

That's kinda nasty.

Update?

What happened with the vote?

 

[ShutupandFly]

What happened with the vote?

Seems 47% of the dispatchers decided they didn't need raises any time soon so the TWU still has it's claws firmly embedded in us. 18 votes for twu, 11 votes for PDSSA, 9 no rep. votes.

Guess we can try again in two years if we are still waiting on a TA.

How much do you want to bet it'll be a pay cut on the next TA?

 

[DispaccioDaddyO]

Good luck to you guys....

 

[dispatchguy]

You have to wait two more years to try and decert the union?

 

[DispaccioDaddyO]

I believe the two years is from original certification. I think to apply for another investigation of dispute it has to be at least a year from the last application.

[Markm1811]

Who was the other option ?

TWU, no cert or who ?
