NAGE UNDER FIRE- Membership is FED UP!- STOP Thieves!

Members are fed up..... Unit 1, 3 & 6 members are SICK OF HAVING  their collective POCKETS PICKED to the tune of  about $13.5 MILLION per year in dues by the Burgin Parkway Bandits at NAGE....... what do the MEMBERS HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT?..... PRECIOUS LITTLE TO NOTHING....

WHAT DO THE BURGIN PARKWAY BANDITS AT NAGE HAVE TO SHOW FOR your Dues?...... .....PLENTY.....Fat salaries, fat fringe benefits, lots of travel, resort stays, lavish holiday parties, fat expense accounts..... Holway lives like a KING and you get nothing.....
Here's some of what you are paying for NAGE salaries:
Do you think you're getting $13.5 million dollars worth of service from NAGE, or do you think you are just getting totally screwed over?





The total inability of NAGE to effectively bargain on your behalf....has lead years of No raises, and the erosion of your standard of living.  NAGE is historically unable to bargain successfully for cost of living increases..... and do they really care...?

.......the value of your wages slips further and further behind due to inflationary increases...(unlike Municipal Unions in Massachusetts that have COLAS built in to their contracts.)


It's not just the cost of your health coverage that keeps going up, up, up..... .....look at the cost of gasoline, the cost of heating your home, the cost of electricity, the cost of groceries, the cost of sending your kids to college......

Perhaps worst of all..... YOU ARE BEING FROZEN out of any fair adjustment to your pension..... .... year after year you forgoe any reasonable inflationary based adjustment to your salary..... so as you lose ground to inflation each year that NAGE is your bargaining agent, you will suffer these losses for the rest of you life after you retire!.... NAGE is injuring you PERMANENTLY with their cynical incompetence!

NAGE collects $13.5 million from you dues,  doesn't seem to give a damn for your problems (all we ever hear from them is the arguments from the administration....always crying poor mouth...even when revenues are at record highs... Hey NAGE, let them argue for themselves, YOU'RE SUPPOSED to BE ON OUR SIDE, not management's)

.... they don't put up any kind  of effective fight for you, why?... in my opinion because they think they can go on collecting your dues, and providing nothing in return forever (that's what I call thieving.)...... Do you think members of other unions would put up with this kind of pathetic performance?..... no I don't either, that's why others have effective representatives, and why you have NAGE..... Judas Goats to public sector unions.....

WHY?, because you've been letting them get away with it for years! THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!

I will keep you all posted on the next opportunity we have to tell NAGE what we think of their performance..... there is going to be an election coming in the future....
