It clearly was "negotiations" unlike anything we had ever seen before as a membership. To our disgruntled member(s) that feel they need to lash out, I hope you were in the loop at the unit meetings as we discuused the issues facing us through this process and not on the sidelines waiting to complain. There's much more work to be done and we are only as strong as our weakest link. Thanks to all the members of our bargaining team.

They obviously don't understand what UNION stands for! As for the bargaining committee thanks for HELPING the company by being a SELL-OUT and convincing our members to vote this *!#*! in. In this GREAT contract of ours tell me where the company made any concessions. We gave them exactly what they wanted with out a fight. ANYONE who thinks this was a good thing needs to take a math class! Those who voted this in and those that failed to vote lose the right to complain . Remember that when the company bends you OVER !!

Also, we never saw the whole agreement...the promise of call center jobs to SC. Those 75-100 jobs would have been nice to have here in Michigan. Sounds like SC cut a deal with a 2 tier wage schedule....sounds familiar.
