Not picking on you Swamp, but...
Perhaps this is another problem of today's society, everyone has to know now what's going on with everybody else and everybody has to be the first to know!! What's wrong with waiting until Oct 1st to find out what our raise, if any, will be?? Kinda like Christmas in Oct!!
I also agree with Train, why does the union have to be brought up on
every thread?? Other than the four centers that voted yes (which a majority of the people here aren't located), the U has nothing to do with your/their raise and/or the amount.
