Looks like we'll know what's what either later today or early tomorrow. Just wanted to start a new thread for that discussion so as not to add on to the "Secrecy" thread. Post your comments here.
I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

So than it's a done deal. Approved, signed, whatever? The bottom line is that it is ready for the Membership to review? Is that correct?

Grrr

7 1/2 months of keeping the membership in the dark.    It better be worth it.

Ernie is on his way to the union hall as of the time of this posting (4:30 p.m.), as Michael and others are on their way back from Albany. He says everybody will have copies of the MOA tomorrow morning.

(I think it's safe to say we won't be getting anything near the 32% increase the city council voted for itself.)

Just remember if you don't like this contract vote no or accept the contract and don't bitch about it. Don't fall for the best and final bullshit, vote no or deal with it. By the way that includes me. ( vote yes don't bitch, or just vote no and we can still bitch.

im looking forward to getting back 3/4 of the 3600.00+ i lost in last contract..so thats 2700.00 plus raises for the next 3 years... thats the only way i might vote yes..

Buzz

Yes, worker341 makes a good point. It is not Michael's job  (or Ernie's, for that matter) ... or right ... to decide what is a good contract. It is his OBLIGATION to present to us their offer and it is up to us to decide whether to accept it or not.

Don't forget a 2% yearly cost of living adjustment (COLA) for the last 3 1/2 years and add that 7% to your loss.

I have no idea what the new offer looks like but I'm pretty sure that you will be voting no. $2700 plus raises! Sounds great but I think that's a stretch. Let's hope I'm wrong. We'll see tomorrow.

A no vote leaves you with his best and final offer.There will be no going back to the table for a new agreement.Lets hope this MOA is respectable.We certainly waited long enough.
