DMN: There are a significant number of union members who have said turning down the contract has no bad consequences really, that there’s more an upside by trying to get a better contract. Can they count on that?
Horton: “I think the tentative agreements that were reached, after a lot of hard work on both sides of the table, really do represent the best outcome for the company and the best outcome for the people of the company. That’s the way I think about it.”
I was told at my last union meeting that the company handed the LBO v2.0 to the negotiating committee and said this is it. There was no negotiating. It was more of an ultimatum. So where was the so called hard work that Horton is referring too?
Best outcome for the company? Best outcome for the executives, lawyers and the TWU International. The rest of us are getting screwed. Still want to vote Yes?
