Just Thinking Out Loud - Ken Schroeder

Now that things are settled

And we’ve all had time for thought,

Some might say we have gained some

While others think we’ve not.

Bargaining was ruthless,

Their intentions cruel and cold.

But all of this would quickly change

When power sales were sold.

Concessions stay, wages - not,

Our hopeful thoughts turn sober.

But all of this will only last

‘Til the middle of October.

They fooled us not – they soiled themselves,

They know not how they’ve pained:

For what they’ve lost in morality

Is not worth what they’ve gained!

IMPORTANT

Everyone who works at your Union Hall also has a backlog of vacations to use this year. If you call the Hall and no one answers, please leave a message on the answering machine and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

REMINDER

Randy McCallum and Derm Jackman did a lot of great work for us during the summer getting our blogsite and website up and running. We will be posting our newspapers and bulletins on both sites. Please make sure to visit the sites, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
