NCR – “Not what I thought I was getting in to”

It's official! Word is that our HR rep has said that there will be NO raise or bonus for the second half of this year. No raise or bonus for the 1st half + no raise or bonus for the 2nd half = NO RAISE OR BONUS FOR 2009.
What does it take for the CE's of NCR to wake up?
Understand this ----------
Lester Ellis said in a recent email that it could be weeks, months or even years before a contract is signed if a union is voted in. (Doubtful, but he did say it). The union garrantees that you will not pay one penny UNTIL a contract is signed.
Sooooooooo, what have you got to loose. In order to have a contract, we, the union members, sit down and negotiate a contract with the company. If agreed, we, the membership need to vote by majority to accept said contract. (ratification) Each and every one of us will decide if the contrat is aggreable or not. If the contract pays our dues and gives us a raise, and it should or why vote for it, then we begin paying dues with a ratified contract.
If not, it's back to the barganing table. But, in the meantime, it costs us nothing! We would be no better off than we are now. But we would have a say in our future!! Unlike now without a union, we are employees at will. This is a no brainer!!
WE HAVE GOT NOTHING TO LOOSE and EVERYTHING TO GAIN!!
Want to go another year or two without a raise while food, gas and the cost of living passes you by?
Think about it. Talk about it. And vote for it. Send in your card - do it NOW!
