The End Is Near!!!!

Wake up people the end is in sight!!!

We understand your frustration with how long this has been going on, but a new contract never comes to a quick conclusion and you don't want it too. Believe me no one knows how long this has been going on better than myself. Your patience has been appreciated.



We have overcome huge obstacles in the verbiage and now we are into the economic package!

That's right CASH!

March 19th the Chief of Finance will make the Authority's economic presentation, basically the budget and where they stand on salary %s. This will be the start of their counter proposal to what we presented. I understand that even with contract renewals an economic presentation is the norm.


While celebration will be in order,fair warning, the economic package is the toughest park of the contract. Any one of you who might have been in a collective bargaining unit before or know someone who is in a union, know this is the stumbling block of the process.








Now is the time to sign that green card it gives you the ability to "Vote" on the contract after reviewing it. Don't sell yourself short on a first contract! Let us reiterate "No Dues Will Be Taken Out Until The Contract Is Finalized And Has Gone The Full Gamut!" Everyone will however pay dues regardless if they sign a card or not-get a voice for your bucks!






With that said Stewart classes will be coming up shortly I know a lot of you are anxious about taking them-myself included. Anyone interested in taking the classes please let one of us know.

Our current certified stewards have had a measurable degree of success when representing members in situations where management has not handled themselves in a professional manner!
