IAMAW 933 is 1/1024th Union!
This Union is 1/1024th Union!
They are about nothing. Either they are totally sucking up
to the Company and are head in the sand ashamed of it, or they are in total
disarray and couldn’t organize another strike if their lives depended on it.
Here we are, Twelve years after the strike of 2006. This
morning the Local 933 is out voting on if they will accept the contract of 2018
from Raytheon here in Tucson. No rallying. No flyers looking for support. No,
just a deafening silence that makes members unsure if they even have a pulse.
If you go to the Union Website, they have been pretty mum
over the past month about the negotiations. Even hard core members have been
left guessing what their negotiation team is up to. They have done little. They
had one tiny rally out front of the company, on Nogalez Road. And what, a token gathering at the hotel? As
I now write, the Union hasn’t even seen fit to publish their account of the
process for the last day. No “Up or Down” recommendations were handed out. They
offer nothing but vague assertions that they are fighting for you, the worker.
Vote! Vote little children. We know you will vote to approve
the contract. Regardless of your side not getting the pension you begged for, or
the medical bennies are all but gone. Gone are the days of fighting for “No
Passthrough Language!” Don’t feel bad,
you did get your “Justice Delayed” T-Shirt, no?
