After leaving NEMF back in the spring and now having a battle with the union about my severance i can understand how this joke of a union gets such a bad reputation--should of known a while back what was coming when by chance i found out the union was crediting my pension to another driver out of syracuse needless to say took almost a year to get that straightened out and only after a hundred phone calls and a few threats--now trying to get lump sum severance cause didn,t have enough time to get vested and all i get now is the run around, from 1 month to the next all i get is excuses. seems everyone there is either not there or on vacation, or something got screwed up and they have to get it straightened out. The one thing i keep hearing like it,s a recording is it will be next month. Talked to a lawyer about what i could do and he advised to first file a complaint with the states attys. offices in both jersey and pa. sad if that is what has to be done. like i said what a joke.
