Contract Negotiations Update

From NYCDCC

We are happy to report that as of September 1, 2011 an agreement in principle has been reached with the Cement League. This is a positive first step in our overall goal of reaching agreements with all of our association partners. Progress this week also included meeting with The Building Contractors Association, The Floorcoverers Association, The Association of Wall & Ceilings and Carpentry Industries. A fair offer has been made and is being considered by the associations and their members; we plan on returning to the bargaining table with these associations on Tuesday, September 6th. In light of this, we have extended these agreements until Thursday, September 8th.

  2. the politicalgoal here is to wrap up negotiations before 9-11, so if you boys strike - the rank & file will be the villian.

    it's all calculated - strike now, don't buy the bullshit & the barrage of lies. Where are the written proposals? where is the open dialogue with the rank & file, the phony council delegates (aka suck-asses)?

    where is the supposed Conboy & Walsh transparency? that's right - that was another lie. it's what they do best, we're attorneys damn it, we're paid to lie

  3. TRANSPARENCY MY ASS! THE THIEVES NEGOTIATING "OUR CONTRACT" CAN CARE LESS ABOUT US. IT'S ALL ABOUT PLEASING THE CONTRACTORS AND STEALING AS MUCH MONEY FROM EACH OF US THAT THEY CAN. SPENCER ALREADY DECIDED WE DIDN'T DESERVE A $2.13 RAISE IN JANUARY THAT WAS WRITTEN IN OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT AND SIGNED BY ALL THE CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATIONS! WE COULD HAVE TAKEN $1 AN HOUR FROM THAT RAISE AND PUT IT INTO THE HEALTH AND WELFRE FUND AND WE WOULD NOT BE FACING THE UPCOMING CUTS IN OUR MEDICAL COVERAGE. HOW IS THAT MAN ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT FOR US? IT'S TIME TO TAKE ACTION BROTHERS AND SISTERS! WE NEED TO UNITE AND FIGHT AS 1 AGAINST THIS DICTATORSHIP HERE IN NYC OR WE ARE DOOMED! WE NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION! WHETHER IT BE A RALLY OR A WILDCAT STRIKE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW BEFORE 9/11!

    Mike Forde's buddy was a big contributor to the KAFCI problem. Mike Guerin. He admitted everything to Walter Mack in a deposition. Nothing was done to prosecute him. Of cousre , no foreman or company men were charged either. What about the Foreman in the Sheraton , Tony Finan. Isn't there steward's reports from those jobs ? How come no foreman or company men are being criminally prosecuted ? Because Dennis Walsh is a scammer also. It was only to get at the billing hours and ultimately to get at the welfare and benefit fund. That is the candy jar , Mcarron , and the gov't wants it. They don't want the wise guys to have it any more. It is too lucrative. Mcarron is using the gov't to achieve this.

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
