In the interests of all workers at LL, it would help if the Reps from both unions were not afraid to speak to any of us about issues of a joint nature (such as NVCR move).
What's wrong with the Reps just telling us as it is - good or bad? Either way, eventually they're going to have to tell us anyway. Keeping us in the dark is not helpful, and generates much ill feeling on the Unit.
I think part of the problem at the moment stems from not actually knowing anything. On occasion we are told we cannot pass things on, for good reason, but other times of late we simply are as much in the dark as everyone!
