MORE HOLWAY-NAGE Lies! VOTE NO on more concessions!

Included in your ballot package is yet another BIG LIE from that lying sack of shit Dave Holway.

".... the recent SJC decison rejecting Evergreen clauses leaves state employees vulnerable to the whims of the adminsitration..... blah, blah, blah"

BULLSHIT!

Here they would have you idiots believe that if the contract expires you'll lose all your union language protections..... FOLKS this is utter NONSENSE meant to scare you ignorant sheep into voting for this shitty concession contract, don't fall for it.

Here, in pertinent part is what the Chief Counsel for the Labor Relations Dept has to say about it:
Since the Supreme Judicial Court issued the above-referenced decision, the Division has received numerous questions from both management and labor representatives, concerning the effect of the decision on the parties' bargaining obligations under M.G.L. c. 150E. Under the circumstances, the Division has determined that it is in the public interest to provide management and labor representatives with a clear and consistent summary of case law relevant to the most frequently asked questions.

A. Is an employer permitted to make unilateral changes to mandatory subjects of bargaining once a contract expires?
No. It is well established that public employers are prohibited from making unilateral changes in established conditions of employment that affect mandatory subjects of bargaining both during the term of the collective bargaining agreement and after it
expires. Town of Chatham, 28 MLC 56, 58 (2001) (citing Chatham I, 21 MLC 1526, 1529 (1995) and cases cited therein, including National Labor Relations Board v. Katz, 369 U.S. 736, 743 (1962)).
Established terms and conditions of employment in effect at the time the contract
expires constitute the status quo. The status quo cannot be altered without satisfying the obligation to bargain in good faith. Town of Chatham, 28 MLC at 58 (Town violated the Law when it unilaterally ceased its practice of continuing to advance step and longevity increases during the hiatus after the expiration of the parties' collective bargaining agreement without first bargaining with the Union to resolution or impasse).
To identify the terms and conditions of employment that are in effect when the contract expires, the CERB looks both to the relevant provisions of the expired contract and the established practice between the parties.

don't take my word for it, but especially don't listen to the lying sacks of shit at NAGE/ACORN.

SO what is NAGE REALLY Afraid of?.... VERY SIMPLE:

WHEN THE CONTRACT EXPIRES they become vulnerable to a raid by another union.... sign a few interest cards and then there will be a decertification election held, that could finally rid state employees of these lying self serving ACORN scum!

They are on the verge of losing thousands of court and probation officers who have had enough of their lies.... there is a decertification election pending. 

That brothers and sisters is what they are afraid of.... they just gave themselves obscene dues increases..... you will be seeing your dues double and eventually triple.... that might be enough to wake up even you stupid sheep.

That's why they are trying to sell you down the river and talk you into voting to give back the raises that you already have in your pockets..... for Christ sakes WAKE UP! 


What they are really trying to "LOCK IN" is themselves into the gravy train they've got going for THEMSELVES...... VOTE NO!!!!!

509, MOSES, AFSCME.... nobody is taking the bait like NAGE/ACORN sheeple

Only the Holway is recommending the members throw away a sure thing 6% raise (HALF YEAR of retro back to January plus an accelerated 3% THIS January) and instead give your rasies back in return for a worthless  promise of a stinking 3% additional down the road, a promise from shiftless politicians that have shown again and again, as recently as 2 years ago that they will renege on a deal as soon as look at you.

Think of it.....you've got a bird in the hand 6% THIS YEAR, deal that's sealed and funded and can't be reneged, a permanent raise that most assuredly will count to your pension.... don't listen to that lying sack of shit Holway, the Judas goat of the Mass employee unions.

VOTE NO on the NAGE/ACORN concessions contract.... send those scurvy dogs back to the bargaining table for next year..... let's keep the 6% we've already got in our pocket now.

Why does Holway have to lie about if it is agood deal?..... answer it's not a good deal.

VOTE NO you stupid stupid SHEEPLE, or you'll be the laughing stock when the other unions keep the 6% and then get the stinking 1.5% + 1.5% NAGE is promising..... it's not 9% you dopes, you are giving back the 6% you already own for MAYBE getting the 6% back again and maybe another 1.5% = 1.5% in fy14.

You bleeping idiots!
