“I have your back.” Are not just words that I speak. It’s a promise I’ve made to you, my brother and sisters. Yes, even you who have not yet joined our family. I will not break that promise. That is why I have voted NO on this contract deal. I will not vote to have those who are not on the job yet, have money taken out of their pockets. I will tell them when I see them that you can trust me for I did not turn my back to you. I stood up for you.
I did not not turn my back to those that have more time on the job than I. I voted for seniority rights.
These are just two reasons, there are more, but to me my word, my promise is worth more than any retro check I might get. Please vote NO on this deal.
