[P]AgtN3,[BR]Somtimes the truth hurts! CWA came out okay on this one. Not only did they give away our jobs , but picked up some due money from the new CWA Express and Internet Customer Service. To the agents at the ATO and Reservations....read that TA very closely. CWA worked very closely with U. Thats why the retirement benefit stayed so good, because the company wants to have a voluntary/involuntary eary out. Get out the top heavy agents. Force them out. No incentive to stay now. Then turn around and pay ATO and Reservations 13.00 tos. Morton Bahr had the nerve to put out a letter to the membership asking to vote it in. Why, because CWA doesn't want to spend money on a legal fight if its not voted in. Why is it in the earlier proposals traded back and forth(as seen on CWA.NET)it NEVER showed this NEW express and internet service classification. I'll tell you way.....it was a last minute trade....CWA sold out and still came out okay. The truth hurts, but thats the way it is baby[/P]

[P]This is pretty much what I've been saying for a couple o' days now..there will be very few 20 an hr employees left within a year,maybe a sizeable bunch at the mainline atos, but not in rez/cs...many of the folks who vote YES will be pounding the pavement or living on 13 an hour or less within a year between the likelihood of an office or 2 closing and the internet tech classification..guaranteed..therefore I would rather get it over with now.Cwa did sell us out agreeing to this travesty , ruining peoples vacations for the rest of the year..and taking back pay on unused vacations and not for those who used all their weeks already..and no non penalty sick leave negotiated, ......[STRONG]their biggest concern was 1/4 hr swaps instead of 1/2 hour ones.[/STRONG].Thx C.W.A...which now IMO stands for Chumps, Wooses and A**es.[/P][/BLOCKQUOTE]
