It is all very well to encourage people to maintain an open mind
notalwayssunny, however I think that what many people who post on this forum are concerned about is that some crew won't look deeply enough into it and simply vote yes without looking at the fineprint.
Many of the changes proposed appear to erode the favourable conditions that we currently enjoy (ie. daily overtime after 9 hours - for goodness sake, what other position are you paid monthly overtime??)
Yes, I agree, let's REALLY study the document (therefore giving it a fair go) and see how it compares to the current EBA.
I completely disagree with your comment regarding negativity in the workplace - most of us are positive about our workplace and want to keep it that way - if we allow our conditions to erode, THEN one may see some negativity.......I enjoy my job way too much to sit back and not stand up and try to maintain parts of our agreement which most of us are happy with.
Interesting times ahead (especially in the next few weeks....!!)
