New Strike Times!

[WTF]

"Driver" I will answer your questions even though you failed to answer mine FIRST!

I am Not a union shop steward or trustee, and the answers are of my opinion and what I believe to be correct. Check with Erinie who is, he will be happy to answer anything you need to know!

Do you think the mayor is trying to weaken our union?
Weaken no - Break the Union yes! as he has tried and trying to with All other unions in this city!

How long do you think the union can hold out with this big shot billionare mayor?
As Long as it Takes! As you stated he is a billionaire (thats 1000 x a million) and he doesn't give a shxt about the working class people that get paid to live day by day. He has taken away from the elderly, the disable, the sick and now he's attacking Our children! Do you really think he will lose any sleep if a child / children gets hurt or dies!

I think our president and vice president of our union is doing the best they can.. and I do stand behind them.. If there is an injunction and we are forced back to work what do you think our next route will be?
Go back to work as ordered by the court while they decide the case. Remember we have the Mollen Aggrement (EPP) that was signed by all parties in 1979, the City of NY, Contractors, and ATU 1181. The EPP has been in effect since 1964. The only thing that the DOE has is the pre K work, which 1181 union was not involved with.

Do you think there will be a master union pick?
There is a master union pick each year, I believe in September. That is done mainly if a contractor goes out of business and has union runs or if a union member wants to work at another location.

[WTF]

WTF continue to driver's questions:

I am nervous and don't want to end up on the bottom of someone else's company's list. They talk about protecting the senior drivers which I am not there yet. and we must protect the senior drivers because they are going to be the back bone for us.  I am just alittle nervous and need to have everyone's imput to help make me feel alittle bit better..

You are protecting Your Family's Future, if you are planning to make this your career!

Remember we did Not ask for this Strike! It's the LYING MAYOR OF NYC that did. Remember he gave up almost a half of a billion dollars last week to the Bd of Ed (Our Children's Education) by refusing a fair contract with the teachers. They agreed with All his demands till 2015, which will last for his full term, but instead he wanted to control the next Mayor's decisions! He probably feels he has nothing to lose by doing this and he's probably is correct to a point. But he picked a fight where he can't win, with US who has everything to lose!!!
Stop listening to BS and just LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR SHOP STEWARD SAYS!!!!!
Hope I help you to understand it better, and feel a little bit less nevous. Now did you answer Yes to Any of my questions? Waiting for your reply.
