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.

ReplyDeleteBilello's attempt at damage control
ReplyDeletethey make it seem its a true bill as an agreement that goes into effect immediately and its still pending....
ReplyDeleteis anyone to let me know where all talks are now? biello could be out and who will make the talk for all of us? secondary, is any scenario for july 1st after potential contract could be over?
ReplyDeletefinally, is any chance that our lower benefits since may 2012 will be either paid by mwa or dc?
i'm getting tired waiting for outcome and considering dropping this mess.
hopefully on july 1st will be a strike due to no new agreement. for a year MWA employees are receiving a much lower benefits. i simply have enough and will probably drop the union.
ReplyDeleteis anyone knows the current situation?
really like this article. Thanks for highlighting this topic. are you tired of paying the dentists? never pay full price at the dentist again! Stand alone dental discount plan NC can help saving in dental treatment. I always prefer this discount plan rather than insurance.
