Wow I cant believe it. 2% pay increment in 2 years, thats pretty good except for the fact that dues and insurance will go up and probably put us in the negative for a raise! I cant believe people...

Men, AEP is not going to give us anything unless we fight for it, it's business. AEP may have not been able to afford a competative raise, however they had the option to take other concessions like...

Guys I think basically the company offered some BS!! I heard aep offered 1 % of your gross income which means if you made $100,000 you would get $250.00 for a bonus which was to be taken out of your...

I probably cant explain this the best because it's such a new thing and a lot of uncertainties, but basically all the locals within AEP are negotiating for one contract instead of the company going...

Brother I agree w/ most of your mentality, I think your either a fighter or your not and we have a bunch of members that dont care. I wish I knew the solution, people just dont get it.

Are you talking about the u-9 system council with one master agreement and several other local agreements?

I hate it to brother, Contractually we lost that in our negotiations and can no longer do anything about it. We dont talk or even acknowledge the non-union contractors existence. We tell the...
