Well, Tuesday is probably the last day you can mail in your ballot for the WCS contract. It needs to be received by the 31st. Some people would like to convince you that you do not need these benefits. Some of our leadership has even called us entitled by wanting to keep these benefits. Once they're gone, we will never get them back. It is very short-sighted for our leadership to try to convince us that we are the problem, that are benefits of the problem. It's funny how Management's complaints about our benefits we're so quickly being parroted, by certain leaders, back at our members.
I'm voting no.

Time is ticking down Brothers and Sisters. Ballots are due by January 2, 2019.
If you have not received a ballot, call The American Arbitration Association to have a duplicate ballot mailed out to you at (800) 529-5218. Make sure there is time, call by Monday December 24th.
Happy holidays to you all.

Here is our proposed contract

De Blasio agrees to a 44-month, $1 billion contract with District Council 37 - NY Daily News The de Blasio administration struck a deal for a 44-month contract with the largest city workers union — giving raises that will likely set a pattern for the entire city workforce, officials said Tuesday.

Citywide bargaining at DC37.
7 hours in and still going strong.
Show us the money.
Fair and equitable raises isn't too much to ask.
Unions are under attack all of the time.
It's time for us to get what we deserve.

After 11 hours and 45 minutes- we are close. Details to be worked out today. More information to come later.

Gotta love Texas.
