Muscatine

The contract was paid in full by my understanding.

I don't know how contracted labor works. I know there's a difference from normal employment, but what that is I don't know.

Gage Kent is cutting his wine list back to domestic brands..........poor baby, must be tough being a millionaire before you are old enough to walk................

IF THE COMPANY DIDN'T HAVE A UNION PRESIDENT THAT ALREADY HAS HIS RETIREMENT PAPERS TURNED IN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION.

I CAN'T BELIEVE A HANDFUL OF UNION REPRESENTATIVES CAN MAKE DECISIONS FOR OVER ROUGHLY 300 FAMILIES.

ON FRIDAY NIGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A SECRET BALLOT VOTE TO SEE IF THE EMPLOYEES WAN'T TO RATIFY THE CONTRACT. I BET THEY VOTE WOULD HAVE PASSED AND THE WORKERS WOULD BE WORKING RIGHT NOW.

IT WILL BE ALRIGHT UNTIL YOUR HOUSE PAYMENT, MOTORCYCLE,BOAT ,POWER AND WATER BILL ARE DUE AND YOU CAN'T PAY FOR IT. OR YOU CHILD NEEDS MEDICATION OR NEEDS TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND YOU DO HAVE THE MONEY TO SEE THE DOCTOR.

HOW MANY WEEKS CAN YOU LAST. ASK YOURSELF THAT QUESTION?  AND WHAT IF THE COMPANY COMES BACK WITH A PROPOSEL THAT IS WORSE THAN THE LAST AND YOU WON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO RATIFY THIS CONTRACT.

I THINK THAT A SECRET BALLOT VOTE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO SEE IF THE EMPLOYEES WAN'T TO RETURN TO WORK NOT A SHOW OF HANDS BECAUSE IF YOUR SETTING NEXT TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO ARE RAISING THERE HANDS YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE YOURS. BUT IF YOUR BEHIND A CURTAIN  WHERE NO ONE KNOWS YOUR VOTE THE DECISION WOULD BE DIFFRENT.

EMPOLYEE'S THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THIS IS NOT ONLY GOING TO HURT YOU, YOUR FAMLIES, IT IS GOING TO HURT MUSCATINE. THE ECONOMY IS TERRIBLE NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF THIS CONTRACT IS NOT RATIFED.  ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE ALOT OF MONEY SAVED.

MAYBE YOUR SO CALL UNION PRESIDENT CAN PAY YOUR BILLS.

"The contract was paid in full by my understanding." ?????

davie; what the hell are you talking about? Union contracts are not "paid". Go back to weirdmart where you belong. And you sat here over the years talking down about unions; when you have no idea how they work or what a contract means?
