Unit 3 members-- get set to be consolidated and laid-off

After a nation-wide search the Governor just appointed a new DCAM Commissioner Carole Cornelison (she's 2nd from the right in the picture below.)
She replaces  out-going Commissioner, David Perini.

According to the published job description for the new Commissioner one her most important tasks will be to consolidate facilities management across all the executive offices......
"......over the next year is to oversee the consolidation of facilities management activities across the Commonwealth’s executive offices..... A study is underway to determine the most appropriate organizational structure for the consolidated organization....." (oh, boy that should be a real doozy!, like the kids say I am LOL!)
But NAGE has already informed you of this, Right?..... NO?.... well not to worry...

I'm sure that NAGE is already engaged in their usual hard-assed negotiations with the administration over the coming re-organizations and lay-offs, right?

Hey, you Unit 3 schmoes, I'm sure NAGE is working out the details of a volutary lay-off program (my advice is take it, it's best deal you get with NAGE as your representative.)

You're about to find out that your contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on.... not with NAGE. They get batted around like rented mules by the Patrick administration (even though it's probably the most incompetent administration since Jane Swift...) Don't believe me?, ask around to other former NAGE members who have been reorganized, consolidated and laid-off.....

The NAGE judas goats, like trustees at a concentration camp will tell you to keep calm, things will work out, we have to work with the Administration..... sure, then before the dust settles you're laid-off....

....oh, and don't think the fact that you perform important maintenance functions will save you.... this is the Gov's final term, he could care less whether the Commonwealth's facilities crumble into dust..... he says: "Let the next guy worry about it, I don't care....")..... by the time someone is killed or injured from lack of maintenance the Gov will be long gone, just a memory.... Do you think Jim Kerasiotes is losing any sleep over the woman who was killed in the big dig tunnel collapse?..... he's long gone and hard to find....

Well, it's hard to feel sorry for you dopes..... You could have been represented by a real union... MOSES, a union where you actually get to elect the officers, where you have to approve dues increases, where you know where every damned dime of you hard earned dues is spent, where you attend regular union meetings to vote up or down on these things (not to mention you get a sit-down dinner.)

But you scum, you sniveling, boot-licking scum, went crawling back to NAGE on your yellow bellies.... swallowing their lies about losing your optical and dental benefits......boo hoo, whine, whine....

Instead you chose to keep sending your dues to SEIU/ACORN so they could be  squandered on ultra-left wing causes.... and while you got nothing back in return, except voluntary layoff programs brokered by self-serving morons.....

Well, now you're going to get what's coming to you..... good luck with that.
