A band with this many credentials is like a legacy fulfillment thing. I'm pretty surprised. I'm happy I'm doing so well. |
But this carte blanche on day cuts could go up to 15 days ? according to what they have in their contract. |
Hopefully this will get resolved before our strike date. |
I?m not optimistic, I?m realistic. And I?m ready. |
It was kind of like we were all preaching to the choir. |
It?s primarily because the board has managed their money well. But it is also because they are only looking at day cuts as a way to survive. |
No one wants to see this happen. But the bottom line is they are going to have to say to us ?you are a partner in this district.? The language that cuts days and the language that changes our (pay increases) must be changed. |
That way we won?t be back here negotiating again next year. |
The board challenged us to vote on this. And over 95 percent of you said 'no' to that offer. |
We are not going to allow day cuts without a way to put days back in if they have the money. |
We offered a process that could cut any amount of days they need, but they must show a need for each day cut. |
