So it’s common knowledge that the union made a contractual agreement over the life the current contract extension which runs from 2023-2026, for the company to hire a certain amount of new hires. So why then recently is the union complaining that the company isn’t posting SPV’s?! Isn’t it the goal here to get more “ new” dues paying members on payroll to keep the union’s longterm fiscal health and bargaining power strong? Stop whining and let the company hire the contractually obligated amount of new hires. New hires are good for everyone concerned. Especially for those that have been waiting for that elusive surplus offer. The union signed the agreement now stick to it. As union employees how would we like it if the company started looking at the contract as just a one sided agreement that they didn’t have to follow?

I’ll gladly go work in the congestion pricing zone and that person who commutes from Pennsylvania can take my position in Pennsylvania.
Contractually suppose to offer spvs first, than new hires fill the void
Union reps only help those guys who are su-king them off . Unless you know one of them , you get sc--wed .
What's so wrong about people that have been here for years, and are currently working very far from their homes, to be given an opportunity to transfer, then let the new hires fill in the vacancies the veterans have left? Is that too much to ask?
Such accommodation was forthcoming in the past, why shouldn't it continue. It's the Union looking out for people that have paid their dues, in more ways than one.
Out with the old in with the new. Just sp-t an offer out to get the theft labors of the job out!
Cause some of us have been doing the same job for 20 years and would like a change for the next 10 years.
