The best thing that could be done is a 2 year deal contract stays the same as is but Art 22 removed all together, the companies never used it as it was intended to be used, Give all companies other than Allied a signing bonus and put Allied back to full scale for the remainder of the contract. Then in two more years hopefully the ecomony has a turn arround and its back to balls to the wall bussiness as usual. Thats how this Teamster see's it.

I hear you on that, but I don't want any articles molested. We need to keep the articles alone. Any infringement on any article simply leads to further infringement. No compromises. A pay freeze, a two year contract, and Allied can try to get back what they gave up next time. I wont fight for anyone who voted to get a bonus to vote me in a paycut. sorry.
