The purpose of a union gofor is to improve the conditions for all of us. You are telling people on the base to take a lower raise than is deserved because of the future housing negotiations. On the base, we couldn't give 2 ****es about the housing agreement. Yet, you vote no to what we need and then will be typically whiney when you don't get the support you want. The pay deal was reasonable for MY situation but was crap for my co workers, so i voted no and am happy i did. Its a union, every deal needs to be beneficial to all parties. Deal with each issue as they come. The USAB and NZ guys got a crap deal and there is NO denying it. Fix that and then we can talk about your housing.
