Last night we met with the Company until almost 2:30 in the morning. No progress was made. In fact, their demands worsened! The Company now wants to completely eliminate our JOG language (which guarantees a job offer before they can lay a member off), our Card Check language and our Successorship language (to protect our Contract if they sell part or all of the company). After all their nice words to the press about how much they care about their "Union partners," these proposals prove that's just garbage. Eliminating Card Check and Successorship means they want to go Union-free. They also rejected our proposal to increase our protections under Article 30 (Contracting Out).
