When they propose a new contract why do they put so much emphasis on the words within the contract instead of dealing with actual issues that need attention? It seems like the last time we had a new contract proposed, they didn't help [most] of the employees (they helped dept backups and that's about i...

what does your store do if you take longer than 15 minutes on your breaks and lunches? Our store has begun hilighting our timecards and printing out a list of how many minutes each employee steals each day/week. If you take a 16 minute break for instance, you stole 1 minute.

So they have a temporary contract ready and union members will be voting this week. It includes our meat cutter union as well. No terms have been leaked and the union reps are keeping lips sealed. Managment is encouraging everyone to attend the meetings. We will see if it's worthwhile.
