DC source - Mediator is proposing that the Union put the LBFO up for vote. Union fighting that - VZ asking why.

Lowell "let the members vote as that is what unions are about, democracy right" direct quote

@lvi go back to school, or stop watching msnbc... America is NOT a democracy, it's a constitutional republic.

Yep ... I would love to see those 500 pages the company is hiding from us and what is in them. I am betting though there are no 500 pages to show. Just saying.

FTQ - Brainer auto corrects to Brained on my phone, dick. You're just some northern troll bitter that the union isn't as strong as in years past. I can think for myself, trust only myself, we don't need u or the cwa down here.

All of you Union folks keeping talking about these 500 pages that the Company didn't provide to you, so put YOUR offer and counter proposals on-line so everyone can look at them. I doubt you will because you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourselves in the public eye.

Both sides and the DOL have agreed to a media blackout.

They are not in mediation.

I was the union guy in VA calling for a vote last week. This is good news if true. Either way though, it don't matter, I quit the union and crossed, as did 7 out of 9 of us. Just couldn't take not being paid for much longer. Being small, our garage didn't get crazy amts of OT like some of the yankee techs did, so crossing was a no brained. Good luck to the rest of you.

Union 100% generational, but let me vote. It's my right . I'd abide by the outcome. Never cross.

Since the company sent a copy of their LBFO, minus 500 odd pages of pertinent information, then the union sent via email (saving over 500k in postage) explaining the real ramifications of each line, point by point, I tend to believe the union on this. I think most voted with a return to sender, a nice fire, bird cage lining or just dropping in the trash with the rest of the junk mail.

This is not a democracy. Union member have no authority to ask for a vote. We are told what to do like sheep to slaughter. Way to go Chris! I lost a month salary for what?!

Agreed DC source - troll. But it does ask the question that I have. Why didn't we have a chance to vote?
