I’ll vote for the candidate that GETS MY BIN BACK!
It’s a pity that most of the positions are being returned by acclamation, but perhaps the membership is satisfied with the current leadership or showing its apathy for the lack of leadership the CMG has shown since the lockout. Hard to say. Alas, as we enter 2008 with an agreement about to expire in 2009, I hope the acclaimed representatives do their best to have an agreement in place well before the deadline. I wish them success in the coming negotiations with management. It’s going to be very interesting to watch.
Meanwhile, what is the CMG’s position regarding a new President of the CBC? The union has remained silent on this very important appointment.
