How much longer can NAGE delay the inevitable?

 As you know, on April 26^th, 2011 Hearing Officer Susan L. Atwater, Esq. issued a ruling against NAGE stating in pertinent part;

“There is no evidence that the Employer (Mulligan) withdrew the economic proposals to stymie the fact-finding process.  Because changed circumstances justified rescissions of the Employer’s economic proposals, and there is no evidence of bad faith bargaining, I find that the Employer did not violate the law”.

This is one that NAGE was sure they were going to win!  NAGE wants to appeal this ruling too.

Many people have called the New England PBA telling us that they have called their NAGE representatives and told them not to waste any more time.  Over 50% of NAGE members have indicated they want an election! 

Here is NAGE’s answer to your concerns;

“The local leaders (Executive Board) unanimously endorsed a proposal to file an appeal of the hearing officer’s decision. That filing will take place no later than Friday, May 6^th’.

Did we mention that your Executive Board members are paid by NAGE? Are they really listening to you? Call them again and ask why they are more concerned with NAGE’s best interest than yours.  Ask them where your 3%, 3%, and 3% went to?

Soon, you will hear how NAGE is going “back to the table” (nothing has prevented them from continuing to negotiate during this process), and you will be offered a multi-year contract with little or no retro for past years and promises, promises, promises for the future. 

YOU GET A LOUSY RAISE, NAGE RAISES YOUR DUES.  NAGE WINS AGAIN!

The New England PBA appreciates your patience, and can assure you that we are awaiting the opportunity to provide you with an election to determine which organization will represent YOUR interests in the future.
