An update for those who are interested

I've been a bit absent lately...but here I am again. Just as an update on my work situation: On Dec 1st, we voted 84% in favour of turning down the contract offer from the company. The offer was the deal that was ratified by our other branches. It contained job security for them, which was good for them. BUT, for us, because we are a new facility, we don't have to worry about being shutdown...or at least we hope not, because they have so much invested in our building.

So, the union will hold elections for a negotiating committee, and they will begin talks with the company to try and get us a good deal. That's where we're at right now.
