Unless the county [yes, the same county that signed off on the same contract that was violated] is forced to either uphold the deal that they signed or forced to re-negotiate something, and they will HAVE to be forced, little will be done in a timely manner. Sounds like the "hated PBA" has been trying to move things along, but as long as Mondello pulls Ed's strings, and let's be honest, it's been that way for 30 years under Mondello, and 20 plus more under Margiotta. Unfortunately, these things take time, which well all have too much of.

Onthejob, I appreciate you responding & if true that is great that u & most top pay guys think guys in steps should get their steps. I am not crying but I am about to lose my house so maybe I should cry. Unfortunately there have been top pay guys on this rant that have said they would never vote for a deal if they did get everything owed to them. And if you ask guys around the diff pcts, there are many guys who have also said they would not vote for such a deal. I've had at least 5 guys say that to my face. While I choose to take the high road & try to explain economics & the financial climate we are living in, it seems to me that there are many on our job who just care about themselves.

Regrets Don't listen to Onthejob, He has the typical Top Pay Greed. Complaining that we are "crying" because he isn't getting more than the 30k more he's already making than us. People may say they care about steps, but deep down they only care about themselves.

Guys...... Bottom line here is lets not bicker amongst ourselves. Its true with the BS freeze that there is a huge divide on this job however lets not call top pay guys greedy because they dont want whats left of OUR contract given away. Im on my last step and im waiting eagerly to get top pay. I vent constantly about Carver and the asshole politicians but the reality is that when all of us on steps reach top pay we will be very cautious as to what WE give up for new guys on this job. Its only natural to protect what we have. Bottom line here if these bullshvt rumors are true then the unborn will pay dearly for all of us. 1%'ers and top pay guys.

I agree, top pay guys make 170,000 easy with SRC and you need to go out work SRC and collar up in hopes to make 140,000. Problem is you have PBA board making over 200,000. They are very comfy. We need Jimmy to be a leader and get out there and get things done. We hear nothing except rumors.

Stillnosteps is one of the entitled rookies that only care about themselves. Hey kid, go back to slicing bologna at King Kullen if you don't like it. You sound like a jack-ss.. You said I was being greedy even though I stated that steps should be first? Guys like you should grow up and realize your not the only ones getting screwed.

You state on here that you believe steps should be first but yet I guarantee you will be the first to vote down the deal if you have to give stuff back to help out the guys in steps. Everyone was having a friendly conversation until you butted in telling people to stop crying with your Rookie and I am at Top Pay mentality. Sorry If We are tired of having 9 years on and still not at top pay. So sorry your making 30-40k more than us and we aren't happy about it. I feel bad for the people who need to work around you every tour.

Look at any of my previous posts in the last two years. I've always said steps first, kid. Your one of those guys that think your going to screw the county by driving around the block a few times before going to the call. That's your kind of thinking. Only problem is its one way. That kind of thinking is short sighted and dangerous. Keep bad mouthing guys past the last step and then wonder why some of them say F--- you. I'm going to let this die here because your probably a troll fron Newsrag or the rant trying to divide our job. If your not then we were scraping the bottom when we hired you and guys like you.

I believe venting has led to exploding. Let us all remember that we are ALL getting screwed in our own little way by the county and NIFA. Everyone sees their position as being worse than the other person. I hope and pray everyday for an end to this BS. I just want to be making what I am supposed to. Many people on here have a means of living that they are use to. Some of us are waiting for our lives to be a little more comfortable. The bottom line is we need this freeze to END.

For ALL you members going to the PBA holiday party...... Don't forget to shake Jimmy's hand and say thank you for ALL he's done for us in these tough times. ( Especially the guys and gals in steps). Also if Mr Ed shows his face don't forget to shake his hand as well. A good thank you goes a long long way......and congratulate him on his big win for CE.
