FYI, the NKESP is trying to meet to negotiate. Since the workers and the SC were told to go back to the table by the judge on Aug. 28th, the SC has NOT come to the table to negotiate at all. The first available meeting date that they have available is OCTOBER 29TH? Two months have gone by. Since then, my pay is now $200 less per pay period (than last year at this time). $575.00 every 2 weeks. Wow… more ›
