The next will be to allow any due paying member to beable to propose and vote on a change in the U-9 by-laws. once that happens i will try to add language in the u-9 by-laws to add a time restraint of 3 months in the event of a no vote on a master contract.
immagon this. we get a crappy last and final, we vote no! the company due to the U-9 by-laws is forced to allow us to work 3 months with one quarter of its employees with out contract before they can start negotiations again. If the last beast and final is voted down again, another 3 monts will be forced to be waited again. allowing for another quarter to be with out contract now we have 50% abale to strike, if no again 3 months and 75% and last no 100% capable of strike because we will all be working with out contract! each time we say no our leverage will grow and put the company in the sweat seat! AEP has a record of bulling with time restraints this will stop that! set me know what you think........
