As I posted before, I am union and I am amazed at their thinking. I work for the state of NJ and we were having issues with our governor and our union contract, we were told they were going to hold pickets and everything to keep our current contract because what the gov was proposing wasn't fair. All of a sudden because the vice president was coming here to do something with our gov.and they said he wouldn't cross a picket line, they gave in to a tenetive agreement that we have to vote on. Which IMO is a bad deal. Then we hear commercials on the radio from the same union telling us to vote NO on the agreement (then why did they agree to it in the first place????
Then when you go to their union meetings to see what is going on with the contact and this deal, they aren't saying it straight out but in a round about way they are encouraging you to vote for our current gov because he is a democrat and the republican they say will be bad for the union....(IMO he can't be any worse than what we are stuck with) So I have come to the conclusion that the union will back down instead of fighting for their workers (at least here anyway)
