UPDATE MAY 13, 2011

The Town and Union are continuing to discuss a new disciplinary policy.  If we can not agree on the policy, both sides agreed to go to mediation.

UPDATE

The Town and Union will meet tomorrow to discuss the differences and hopefully will be able to come to a tentative agreement that the members can vote on.

Solidarity

UNITED WE WILL STAND

We will NOT give up until Supervisor Phillips directs his committee to go back to the table !!

ALL WE WANT IS THE SUPERVISOR TO HAVE HIS COMMITTEE TO LISTEN AND  TO REVIEW ALL OUR PROPOSALS.

SUPERVISOR PHILLIPS WE REVIEWED ALL YOUR PROPOSALS GIVE US THE SAME RESPECT AND REVIEW OURS.


We ask all our Brothers and Sisters from all Labor Organizations, that reside in Haverstraw to pay close attention to this blog.

Another display of community involvement. Highway Garage Open House to residents on a Saturday !!!

Superintendent states I have " great bunch of guys"

The Supervisor is showing his appreciation!! He wants to discipline us for something that happened 18months ago and won't look at all our proposals!!

If you really want to show us.  Come back to the table and review our proposal !!!

Were Not Going To Take It Anymore

We are NOT going to take the false promises anymore,

We're NOT going to be treated with disrespect anymore

We Are Standing Tall, And United with all our Brothers and Sisters County Wide...

IF YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO OUR PROPOSALS NOW... Maybe WE WONT LISTEN TO YOUR BROKEN PROMISES IN NOVEMBER..

UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL !!!!

I Wont Back Down - Gonna Stand My Ground

NO.....WE WON'T BACK DOWN.

What we want is fair bargaining and a fair contract. That is what is important to us.

This years bargaining preparation was different. This time the people came out and voiced their opinion. We have had many discussions between ourselves, many meetings.

Our people want fair compensation and treatment.

If SOME are worth millions - we are surely worth a middleclass wage.

We give a lot to this town, we work hard and we care about this town. We just care about ourselves too and this time we aren't going to get bit.

We have our blog now to express ourselves and to discuss what our opinions and concerns are. It is empowering to people to be able to express themselves. We hear them loud and clear.

.....and they are solid and they are strong and they are determined to get that fair contract.

No........ WE won't back down.
