The day was a long one, didn't finish until around 8pm. Today the team sent most of the day going over over the employers response. We met the employer this morning and discussed some of their responses to your demands. Again I think at least our team came away from bargaining today tired but in a positive frame of mind. I think that we did some good things today but the ultimate decision is up to you, the members. What we as a team have to keep in mind is that we may think the deal is good, but you guys may not.
BY JACK PROFIJT What you all need to consider is, what do I want and what do I need, out of this deal. The reason that this is important is because it will start to frame in your mind, what to you, will make a good collective agreement. What will be right for some, may not be right for others. Ultimately the decision to settle this agreement will be up to you, not the bargaining team. All we can do is recommend the deal or not . Ultimately what you receive in this collective agreement will be based on what you, the member are willing to settle for. If you are wiling to settle for Junk you will be stuck with it for the life of that collective agreement. So if you think the deal is junk let us know, because the team that you elected will be more than happy to do do this all year long.
So I guess what am saying is, use your head and not your heart when it comes time to ratify a deal.
