How many times have you been furloughed before ?

That post reminds me of a few things. First off, never underestimate what the forces of chance can do to the economy, your livlihood, and personal security. Next, don't shoot your virtual mouth off on APC because you never know when it could bite you. I could contend that I've given up much more than a month's pay via the MOU, but if we furlough and Biggs contacts me, I'll pay up.

Thank you for your contribution and help towards this MOU. I am certain that you meant no harm when you made your earlier post, but please understand the challenges being presented to the families of the bottom folks.

My point, maybe before throwing out negative rumors, consider the 300 families that are wondering how they are going to make their next house payment.

I honestly think the union and the company have better things to do over the weekend then leave us in suspense.

Trust me, tasting the sh#t sandwich is 10 times worse than looking at it. Imagine what a three year diet of it will be like.

I think it was pretty obvious what he was trying to do. He didnt want to see folks get their hopes up on the previous rumor. Bad judgment on his part and on the part of the original poster. I've got a dollar that says either person would not have posted that on the B&G.

I know better than to bet a month's pay.

spread rumors all you want about other stuff. But doing so on this issue just to get your kicks is simply wrong.

Although I do have a very reliable source that told me they are tryng to reach an agreement by Monday.
