My vote will be NO and in all the above scenarios I can stop at page 3 with the CIC being eliminated
and 18 cities being threatened before continuing on. Canales' letter only irked me more as he refers
to the companys plight and in doing so talks of a bad economy and oil prices all the while somewhat
oblivious to the rising need of the group and the fact of the realization we are well aware of our needs.
We pay $3.30 for gas and my oil was $865 for one delivery this season. The we'll fight next time does
not sell itself to me as it has been uttered since 04'.
Thank You for reading and educate yourselves and vote. My post is not meant to sway but point
out the agreement in general. Vote Yes if you feel this is indeed a good step for you but I do not
see it that way at all. I have over 20++ years and am quietly disguisted in our, my union.
