The new people we have met represent other public workers just like us, it seems scary to have new people involved in our worker-employer relations but think of this as a labor focused attorney who has a new set of legal rights at their helm, their only directive is written in the CBA.

Sounds like your kinda club? yeah mine too, forget backpacking and cookies, i want to improve our lives to make more time for that without a 2nd and 3rd job, just sayin
