Well, same is true for the hubby, no raise for the last 3 years, thats our wonderful Union! 25/30 years ago people feared the almighty Union, ehh, not so much anymore :(
By the way, you and Molly are so cute with the santa hats on!!

Absolutely.
No way we counted on that offer, we do know people that live there and such to offer anything
sight unseen, but won't offer anything more until actually seeing the house.
Anyway, working on some dusting and windexing and have party mix in the oven.
Gonna start soup soon.
WATCH THAT SOUP!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!
I hate having a burnt tongue, all my juice taste blahh!!!

Don't take me wrong, was not complaining. We had NO raise last 2 years. I was actually looking forward to the extra bottle from James each month :)

unions only do what you make them do! i went to work for my union 20 years ago. i was just dude w/attitude. w/in a year, i was force to be reckoned with. i had the NLRB eating out of my hands, i doubled pension contributions in my first round of negotiations and kept deductions for health care costs at a minimum. my last round of negs i won back for employees all the the union had screwed them out of in 20 years and got them stuff they never had! every single person that worked at the union before me was gone by the time i left, the Pres, Sec Tres on charges that i brought against them. the IU came in and got rid of me, but i had a trojan horse. my buddy, Eric, whom i brought there. he now runs it and they are organizing and helped pass the $15 minimum wage for Seatac.

life is short, but even 1 person can make a difference. don't let your union not represent you! it's what they want.

It's a never ending struggle. Management needs to make enough money to remain in business and cover expenses. The employees need to make enough to cover the rising cost of living, insurance etc etc etc. Assuming ( theres that word again ) greed is not a factor on either side..... some balance should be attainable. I maintain the thought that it is the greed factor which is eroding this country.
