If everyone starts withholding their dues, union leadership will start listening to it's members.

Agree, union leaders not doing anything. We are getting abused by managers and forced to work OT. I don't think they care about a contract, they just want our money. They are making us look stupid with strike threats. Nobody believes we will ever strike and they are probably right.

Come on! Are you serious? You can’t be serious. Really? Really?

Aw, fer crying out loud!

Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. Just hold up—hold up a sec. I cannot believe this. I absolutely cannot believe any of this. If you’re telling me what I think you’re telling me, then it’s…. Honestly, I don’t even know what to make of it. You gotta be kidding me. Are you kidding me here?

Seriously, is this some sort of big joke? If so, then ha, ha, ha, very funny. If not, then—ay yi yi. I mean, for God’s sake! This is not, this is, this—

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No way. Uh-uh.

Listen to me. Listen to me! Will you cut it out already? Jesus Christ.

Again with this stuff. Again! It’s outrageous—that’s what it is. Completely outrageous. I mean, what the hell? Give me a break here. Give me a f---ing break, okay? You come to me with this and then suddenly I’m…now I’m supposed to…supposed to…I just…you’re telling me….

Great. Just great.

What exactly am I supposed to do? Did you stop to think about that? Did you? For chrissakes! To be honest, I’m doing my best not to even think about it, because I really can’t deal with this right now.

First it’s one thing, then it’s another, huh? Is that the way it works? Well then, what’s next?

This is ridiculous. This whole thing’s ridiculous.

I give up. I give up! I’ve had it up to here—up to here, I’m telling you! To hell with it all. Just screw it. That’s how fed up I am at this point. I am completely and totally fed up. Sheesh.

Unbelievable.

Actually, wait, you know what? It is kind of a valid point. In fact, it makes a lot of sense, the more I think about it. So, uh, just let me know if I can do anything to help. All right? Cool.

I've heard rumblings from the exec. level that the Unions may walk out this Monday or Tuesday. Of course, take this with a grain of salt, but some execs were overheard during a call.

Lowell has the unions by the balls. It's over. Employees should use what time they have left making themselves more marketable to other employers.

Why Strike? the contract you want so badly is going to be worse than the one you working under right now. Stay on the job and enjoy the best contract you'll ever have, enjoy these benefits, the salary, these work rules, because it's all changing, for the worse under a NEW contract. Come to work and earn a salary rather than take yourself off the payroll and face bills you can't pay, and then you come back to a worse contract. Take there money with a smile. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DO NOT WANT THIS CONTRACT YOUR WORKING UNDER RIGHT NOW, NOT YOU! You should love the contract your WORKING under right now. I hope, and so should you, that this it goes on forever. The chant should be NO CONTRACT NOW!

Stop strikes are so 1980s. The union is too small with no power.
