Can someone inform us if the current negotiations are for one contract for all companies? The letter we received from 1181 was addressed to only 8 companies..... long standing companies like Consolidated, Hoyt and newcomer Reliant were not addressed? Is there a reason why?

It would be proper if our union delegation asked us our opinion on the proposal that was put forth by Neil Strahl! At least let us give feedback!

So much for transparency ?

Where is the feedback on this proposal? All I hear are crickets!!!!!!!!!

The problem is:................... LACK of communication, that is it in a nutshell!

Chalk it up to GREAT union leadership...............Wait until you see the raises coming in our out of pockets for union dues and medical costs!!!!!!

Zero tolerance you sound like you are very jealous, but maybe SOME day you will grow up!

Zero tolerance how many different screen names are you gonna use?

Zero tolerance take time out of your busy day and have a discussion with me....but you won't because you will support Cordiello until you no longer have a job!

Keep believing Buzz!!!!!!!!

It seems that the EPP didn't make the grade with Cuomo.............are we gonna put our faith in an overide by the state assembly?

Buzz, you have to STOP posting this funny stuff you come up with! The MTA broke parity with US BECAUSE they did not want to be associated with a local that was under investigation by the FBI and others back in the day. You post S..T misinforming members about that contract. Sal Battaglia told us at a meeting, in which I was present, that WE WERE breaking parity so we could negotiate a better contract than what the TA was offering it's members. I took the mic at this meeting and asked Sal to reconsider. Well it fell on deaf ears, and today the MTA makes $2.00 per hr. more than us.........Good job Huh? Did you take time out of your day to ask Tommy Salerno, when he was campaigning at Pioneer, what he was going to do to advance our agenda? Or do you just post WHATEVER the Cordiello slate tells you to?

Yeah .......your hourly rate which is now $2.00 hr Below the MTA who at one time we had parity with!!!!!!!!!!!

I can ONLY hope you voted for the Salerno Members for Change Slate. We All realize that our pension hangs in the balance of new hires, Cordiello doesn't seem to understand that. Signing a contract that doesn't treat new employees fairly, hurts our future. New hires DO NOT get a family medical plan, and only for themselves after 1 year! For the first time in my memory ALL companies are offering bonuses to drivers to recruit new employees! What does that tell us? Our future and our pension will suffer, no doubt about that!

I was told by Ernie that Mike was NOT coming back to Pioneer BECAUSE there was a lawsuit filed by the parents of the injured child! Not True!
