FYI
Local 705
Wednesday, July 9.2008 Meeting
What seemed to be positive progress on Monday, July 7.2008 with the appearance of the three (3) Vice Presidents has evaporated on Wednesday.
With an additional slide presentation and further dialog on “Scope of Work”, “Area of Agreement” and its importance to our Unions future.
The TMI group indicated that they would present a proposal to the Committee after they recessed for caucus and lunch.
They did, the Employers Proposal #5 shows no movement that could be considered positive or constructive, from the Negotiation Committee’s perspective, the Unions, yours or mine.
They, (TMI) failed to comprehend our dissertation on these two topics, their importance and interconnectedness to everything else in our proposal.
This proposal, will, as always, will be posted on the Local’s web site for your inspection and consideration.
Two additional dates have been set in early August. To what end, I cannot see.
This TMI proposal #5 is an insult to all of us, as you will see when it is posted on the web.
FYI Note: 705 has NO Obligation at this point, to issue a 72-hour notice of action.
Action can be called for at any moment.
We are at a critical mass point, the next few days will be insightful into our Leaderships resolve on these MOST important issues.
What is done to one of us is done to ALL of us!
