NAGE is STEALING your dues money!
Stealing it and giving it to these SEIU assholes, these Social Engineers in Washington DC who wouldn't know a Mass State Employee from a hole in the ground....
Maybe I'd think it was commendable for SEIU to be spending millions to organize janitors, and hotel housekeepers, and illegal aliens.... if they weren't spending MY DUES to do it! (My dues are suppposed to be fiancing the interests of my professional state employee bargain unit.... not the interests of private employees in other states...) Hey good luck to them, but let them raise their own dues!
You state employees get NO REPRESENTATION of your interests at the state bargaining table. Holway and his minions are only interested in stealing your dues so they get to be heroes to their SEIU masters by transferring MILLION$ of your dollars.....
Watch how quickly Dave "Judas goat" Holway sells you all down the river when the talks begin for the next contract. What will we see, another 2%?, 3%?..... how much further erosion will we see in health insurance benefits?
DID you get that full color, over-sized, glossy postcard with the generic SEIU propaganda? With the little "customized-fill-in-the-blanks" section asking you to vote for Deval & Question 3? What a joke.... your dues are paying for these generic mailers that are being sent all over the country.... don't let them fool you, they don't give a shit about state employees in Massachusetts .....
By the WAY...... please vote NO on question 3
Campaigns(Like Question 3) have nothing whatever to do with your interests and will not benefit you in any way..... this bullshit is completely beyond the scope of the Mass public employee collective bargaining law, Chapter 150E..... why the hell is NAGE spending our money on this twaddle?
We, as state employees, have absolutely no stake in whether home-based day care providers can organize unions..... they are not state employees and they never will be.....
The best I can say about Question 3 is: I don't give shit one way or the other, and the worst I can say is that NAGE/SIEU/Holway arrogance will ONCE AGAIN piss off the Legislature
..... (you don't think the legislature is going to appreciate an attempt by carpetbagger out-of-state union-shitheads to foist a change in the general laws on their constituents, do you?),
and we, the poor members, will be punished again by being screwed in the next contract!.... wake up folks, these NAGE assholes have to brought to heel.
NAGE is stealing your dues to pay for this campaign while they give you shit for service..... For God sake, don't do anything to encourage them to keep raiding our bank account!!!
VOTE NO ON Question 3.... let them raise their own money.
Question 3 is a Union Issue, it will allow childcare workers the right to organize, rights they do not have now. I thought this blog was about creating a good union. Good union members support all workers who want a right to organize. If this blog is just about yourself and not workers who want a good contract and a better life not only for themselves but for all workes then this blog is a fraud and you are no better than Holway and his gang of thieves!
ReplyDelete1)This blog is about moving NAGE toward democracy, and accountability and away from tin-horn dictatorship..... who said anything about creating a "good" union?, that's way too vague for me sister..... I'll be happy with accountability
ReplyDelete2) NAGE does not afford afford me the opportunity to vote on how my dues money is spent (instead of they just "steal it" (by that I mean.... they spend it) without giving me an opportunity to vote up or down on multi-muillion dollar transfers to SIEU social engineers)
3) NAGE spends virtually nothing representing the interests of the MEMBERs of Units 1,3 &6. (If they were spending on our behalf, they'd be proud to provide an accounting, instead of a n information black-out.... jsut how much did they spend on these Question 3 mailings?) for their expenditures.... instead of These are Commonwealth of Mass State employees who are milked for about $10 million per year in dues..... when NAGE starts representing the interests of those who support them financially, then perhaps folks won't mind supporting other non-union members... till then I don't recommend encouraging NAGE to steal any more dues.
4) What the hell do you mean I'm no better than Holway and his thieving toadies?..... I'm not "stealing" $10 million per year from the Unit 1,3, & 6 membership.... ;-)..... and I agreed to post your opinion (to which you are entitled)....didn't I?
... which is more than can be said for the cowardly scum at Burgin Parkway.....

Here's my take on Question 3. Unionizing childcare workers may or may not actually help them to receive benefits, more money or job security. Anyone can write a "poor me" story which is what SEIU portrays in their stories about these workers but they are short on documenting WHAT THEY WILL DO beyond marketing rhetoric to actually help these very important and caring workers. SEIU / NAGE is supporting unionizing childcare workers because it means MORE MONEY for the union. Period. I think childcare workers SHOULD have a better deal than they currently have but more discussion, planning and government / union transparency need to occur first. I really do want to support childcare workers but I'm not convinced that unionizing is in their best interest.
ReplyDeleteAs for this blog, I hope there are more discussion on how to move the current "leadership" out and more discussion on how we can improve our own lot as state workers.

I say amen to that brother.... the only way to improve our lot as state workers is through a democratic union where members get to particpate in union decisions....
