Buzz, do u know if we settle the contract, are we gonna get retro pay? 

Another brilliant move is that the new members dont get coverage for a year and a half.  NO MONEY COMING IN FOR ALL THOSE NEW MEMBERS!!!!!!.  What about no overtime after ten hours.  What President of the Union negotiates that.  You know how many guys are getting screwed with that.  aka  The Great Negotiator Mike.!!!!! - for the owners not for the members.       

Thank You.

Can anyone tell me whats going on in the assembly, that we have to call Senator Flanagan.  Anyone have any details.  It would be nice to have a little more information for the members. 

Thank You.  Please everyone call.  Once its law, they can never take it away from us again.

I thought they were going vote on it before the the legislative session was over.  The union gave us those two updates with the bill numbers, so I thought they were voting on it this June.  I think its over June 17, 2015 and then they recess for the summer.     

Does anyone know when their going to vote on the EPP Bill.  There's not much time left.  It will probably be the last bill to be voted on.

No mention of School Bus Drivers in the news or on television.  No press conferences with City Council Memebers.  We all get pink slips saying were losing our jobs in June, and nobody is talking about it.  Where is the Union's P.R. guy.   

Larissa got paid, Hoyt got paid and Borough got paid.  We work a week behind.  We should have gotten paid,  if we didn't work this week.  There are so many contracts, who the hell knows anymore.  Give back Mike, the great Negotiator.  The majority of us didn't work.  Just another way to hold our money.       

      I am only saying that how can it be a fair election if not all the ballots were counted.   Another thing, if your going to have an election, wouldn't it be smart for both sides to have an updated list of all members and their addreses.  It's not professional.  The point was made that some ballots were not counted.  Shouldn't the membership know the reason for that.  I don't know if anyone can fix this now, but I would sure like to see if someone else can. If we get an extension and/or keep the EPP, we still have alot to lose.  The ship is sinking.  The medical was a HUGE loss.  Maybe someone else can do a better job.  Isn't it worth a try.  It's a gamble, but we already know that this leadership is not working.  Remember members how much money we are paying this guy.  It may never happen, but we have the right to a fair election.  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.       

Found 2 counts of corruption by the National Labor Board.  Go to 1181 ATU website.  We might get one more shot at getting rid of  " give back" Mike, the Great Negotiator.  No pay next week and no pay Easter week.    How about that great Medical we got.  We need new blood.     

I heard they only took 50 drivers from the seniority list and 0 matrons.  There were 1,800 matrons and 1,000 drivers on that seniority list.   I heard there was a guy named Fred, who was the only delegate there.   I heard the Great Negotiator was nowhere to be found?? (a.k.a. Michael.)  With 2,700 members out of work, maybe we should lay off some delegates.  You think?

what happens when the the contracts go out to bid in October.  Will they include EPP for 2016 or is this just for special ed.  Who is this money for.     

On all the  Council Member Votes it was 41-7.  Ignizio and Matteo voted no.

12 to 1 in favor of the 42 million dollar grant. Daniel Garodnick from the upper east side voted no.  Good day for 1181.
