Listen Buzz, I should be taken seriously.  I have a point.  I know Bloomberg took away the EPP,  I'm not stupid.  Cordiello has to take responsibility for not stopping Bloomberg after he came after us.  The strike was a disaster, the press conferences were handled terribly.  I don't think we would be in the same situation if we had a different President.  We didn't get any press coverage.  It was Cordiello's job was to get us out of this situation.  He wasn't a leader and believe me Buzz, there are a lot of people in Pioneer who feel the same way, but are scared to say anything.  He had no game plan. He gave the city two weeks to prepare for the strike.  I know its cruel but you have to be tough.  You have to let them know you mean business.  You have to cripple them.  I just think your boy's time is up.  p.s. while on strike, a week before we were suppose to get unemployment, he puts us back to work.  Do u get it.  In 1979 the strike lasted 14 weeks.  Don't you think that was hard.  That was strong leadership.     

Why are you so defensive.  Listen, your boy lost the EPP for 3,200 members as of June 2014.  Maybe there working for years on how to lose it.  Listen, Cordiello doesn't have the charisma and communication skills that other Presidents have had.  Maybe he should hire a spokesman for himself before he gets in front of the news cameras.   What happened to  the 3 months medical that we were suppose to get when we were on strike.  I could go on and on but I dont want to do that. 

 I'm trying to make a point.  The EPP is the only thing, but that's not up to Cordiello or Salerno.  There are things being said that are below the belt on both sides.  It doesn't make any of us look good.   We are all in this together.  There are plenty of things that can be said of both candidates that are negative.  The more you bring this shit up the more the other side retaliates and on and on.             

  If you want to bring money into it Cordiello makes 250,000 a year, more than the Mayor of New York.  He makes more than any Union Official in New York City.  I think everyone should be fair and respectful on both sides. Cordiello also signed 27 different contracts.  I guess Tommy was the delegate when he did that??? That was a bad move for this uinion.  I could go on and on.  If you think thats the only way Cordiello can win, it may have the opposite effect.  I dont know whether saying Salerno is not hurting for money has anything to do with this election.  He inherited the house from his Father.  What is he suppose to do give it away. Cordiello certainly isn't hurting for money either.    I for one have seen this before.    Lets talk about the issues and stop with negative campaigning.         

Thanks

If the 2014 contract bids went out already, how many of us are left and can we keep the pension going?  Might be not enough of us working to make that happen.  Only people left are the ones whose contract runs out in 2015.   

It's two different entities.

Snypster you are a liar.  The website is for good information and your taking that away,  I spoke to someone in the pension dept  today and
they told me that we are covered.  You are fabricating stories. 

article about us in the Post.  Second Page.

Yeah you are right , if you are stupid enough to vote yes for the contract, but if you listen to unemployment, did you receive  holiday pay or vacation pay  for this week.  The answer is no.  We are working a week behind so we deserve to get paid for this week. 

The union members gave back, but did the Union Delegates give back.  The owners and the union are saying that the owners aren't making any money, but when Atlantic Express went out of business, there was a lot of companies looking for the work.  It's pretty sad when the owners are making the same amount of money on the runs and only the union members have to take a hit.

We are probably the only union that goes on strike and has to give givebacks.  Yeah, the Great Negotiator.

I would like to see the letter that Cordiello sent to the Mayor.  It is better than nothing, but he really doesn't say anything about revisiting the EPP. which he promised to do with all the other mayoral candidates.

Be patient.  I got mine Saturday.

Thank u Buzz, can u be a little more specific.
