Work Towards the Future

Now that the vote is over, let's work towards the future. There are to many minor squabbles that are going on right now, and they need to end. You have all selected a team that is committed to giving you the best collective agreement that we can get. We can not reach that goal if our forces are divided. Unity is the key to success here. We have all heard of the tough economic times that the world is facing. Companies are down sizing and layoffs are on the rise in every employment sector, this one is no different.
This team, that you the members, have put together is a strong one, however it will not succeed in its mission, until it has the undivided support of every member of this department.

Thanks for the Votes

I want  to extend to everyone a heart felt thank you to everyone who cam out and voted for our bargaining team.  So on behalf of the whole team I say thanks. Now that this stage is over, the next one is about to begin. In this stage you the members have a big role to play. We as a bargaining team are just the voice you the member are the spirit and soul of what we are, and what we are is a team.  We are a collection of people that have been thrown together from all different walks of life to create a single unit. In order to survive this unit needs to depend on all of its different pieces to preserve the whole. 

The first thing that you as members my want to consider first is what does your family need first, because they are the base of a solid foundation. After all they are what we are all in this for.  All through out history the one thing on common that all nations have fought for is the safety and well being of their children, wives, family's and homes.

You will read an bulletin boards around our place of employment  that they have never laid off anyone, I would hazard a guess that the 40 plus sups they let go in one day would beg to differ.  They all had family homes and children.

So lets get on track and think about what it is that we al want to see changed or fixed up in our next collective agreement. Please let us on the Bargaining team know if you have any Ideas and we will have a look at them.
