Our contract expired in May. Since then the company offered a few new contracts. They all involve no raises, cutting or raising costs of health insurance, cutting the pension or making the age to receive it older, and not doing anything about the two-tier system. The two tier system was implemented in the contact negotiations in 2004. It makes people hired on or after a certain date not eligable for certain perks that those of us hired before get. They will never make what we do, and they will have to wait a lot longer for the same benefits. So we voted all of them down. The national office didn't sanction our vote. They said we had to wait for a last, best final offer. Well, we got that last week. It was the same as all the others. We got a phone call last night that the national office has sanctioned our vote. We will vote at the end of the month. The results will determine wether we go on strike or back to the table for more talks, or accept the company's offer. I've told people for months that we won't go on strike because I want it too badly.
