newpenn107, you can blame our inability to further gain membership because of todays economy, reduction in pay/pen but be for real .. time must have passed me by, I just don't remember the last carrier big or small we got to sign cards and be party to OUR contract. So guess what, instead of making our contract STRONGER with more carriers part of the NMFA ( like back in the day ) the number remains TWO !! Say what you want, blame who you want, but the reality is without more companies being part of the NMFA it's left up to us to save what we fought for and what we have which is still superior to the nons but I guess there buck an hour out does our total package ... and there job security is AT WILL my friend, mine is still Union !!
