Good morning Buzz.  What is your opinion on the article in yesterday's paper?    I don't remember if it was the News or the Post.   Thanks..

it was in the ny post.... its all a mess and noone has answers for us...all we can do is sit back and keep watching our paycheck dewindle down...hard to believe we pay union dues.. NLRB must be out catching up on golf or something..

also there is a letter from michael on the 1181 website how they sat down with our bosses..no indication of it was good bad or maybe a little hope,just more bs thrown our way....next week michael going to give us a letter stating our bosses kids need braces

I assume you're referring to this article ... http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/city_strikes_non_union_school_bus_DWdS235VOtFaAHwxcCSJkK


Being companies who were targets of bribery probes had their contracts extended, I believe all the more that a company with a record like Pioneer's will have no problem getting theirs extended ... all the more indication that there is absolutely NO REASON for us to be cut ANYTHING at this point in time.

The letter of May 8 ... http://atu1181.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DOE-UPDATE-LTR-05-08-20131.pdf ... for all intent and purposes said nothing, because there was nothing new to say. The companies did not show any willingness to concede on any issues. If you ask me, the meeting was premature and silly, absent word from the NLRB.

Democrat President with all the things that have worked against the Unionized working man,the least youd think you can get is a fair and quick ruling from the NLRB. Cant even get that,what a disgrace.

Who believes that the membership, certain websites and/or the internet, is responsible for the downward spiral of this union or industry ? I'm not pointing fingers or passing judgement at all, I'm just taking a survey.  Who do you believe is responsible for the shape we're in ? Honestly.

One person and one person only: Michael Bloomberg.

They blame this website and/or Facebook for our predicament? And these are people who are subject to random drug tests?

Amazing.
