VCS Bargaining 2011: Report # 27

Your Bargaining Team met with the Company once this morning and a second time this afternoon and following brief discussions in both of them we adjourned until our next meeting which is scheduled for 11:00 am Saturday the 20th. There still has been no positive movement by the Company and again today they have shown no interest in removing any of their RETROGRESSIVE demands. Once the Company decides to remove their asinine RETROGRESSIVE demands, your Bargaining Team can begin to negotiate a FAIR AND EQUITABLE agreement. Until those demands are removed, we MUST stay strong and continue to tell VCS that WE WILL NOT GO BACK.

It is obvious what the Company is trying to do to both CWA and IBEW and to the members of both but each of us will never let that happen. They would love to break each Union but the Company has totally underestimated our resolve. The only backs that will be broken will be the GREEDY CORPORATE RATS that run this corporation. We must send the message very clearly to those individuals that they need to get serious and begin to bargain in GOOD FAITH. Once that happens and we are able to negotiate a FAIR AND EQUITABLE agreement, we can all go back to work with our heads held high. We can also let workers know from coast to coast that these fights can be won when WE STAND TOGETHER to FIGHT the RETROGRESSIVE demands of GREEDY CORPORATE RATS no matter what industry they represent and that it is time to take back the MIDDLE CLASS.

STAY STRONG AND UNITED AND WE WILL PREVAIL!!!!

It’s all about good Union Jobs!!!
