Thanks Buzz....I guess the struggle will continue.

I wish that "clip" were true...and then we can sing "ding dong the witch is dead!"

See all the Santitation truck tire chains,Salting the street 4-5x over 2 inches of snow. This guy just had to go out and overkill,even sent people with cameras.....what a circus. Guess what cant bring back the baby that died in the storm.

Buzz....I was just about to ask you about this comment:
       "Why, you ask? You have to realize that outside of NYC, 1181 contracts with individual school districts and each one may have different rates of pay and benefits, and few, if any, fare as well as we do. Contractors here just wanted to make sure that the same would not be done with other companies who contract with the DoE. That's all."

        You answered with:

                 "they haven't agreed not to organize, they agreed not to organize by compromising the pay and benefits......To divide the members within the same workforce would only depreciate our value and ability to negotiate for better. "   
                   I appreciate you translating the language in the contract about this. I was told by someone a different definition and meaning. This however is a more favorable the  what I orginally thought.

                 On the flip side, Buzz to your knowledge was there any language in the Contracts with the DOE and the Contractors Guaranteeing "X" amount of union working Companies(1181) or Capping any work  out to Non-union companies. The more concerning issue is the "alarming growth...like weeds" of Non union contractors.
                       

Tyrants and Dictators do get what they want,all the time every time...and thats the same of it all. We shouldn't have to put up with this crap in anu city in this Country.

Yeah....I am not going to blame Sanitation. The guys that got demoted (to take effect Jan1)got skunked, what production did you think they would give knowing that? Good for them,I am glad someone stood up to the tyrant term limit trampler. The best line had to be " go see a Broadway show". The Bloomin idiot himself still couldnt realize people were trapped in there houses,the streets were impassable. Hey at least the Bike lanes you could eat dinner of them.

Taking into consideration the large amount of snow we had the Yard at Pioneer was pretty clean for the most part!

 I contacted "Pawn Stars" Big Hoss says its worth  $25.00 and  the reason is they dont know if they can resell it...its hard to value this as its the first of its kind  ;)

Buzz...Great job with the site..............thanks for the reminder on unemployment  and getting the site up and going again,Happy and Healthy new year!
