Just curious, why not? Some people I know said they expect 831 to "whin and moan " like any other union other there when they feel they are being left out or should be paid more.
That has never been the unions policy, they do not do what other unions do. They bide their time and sit down when asked. The ball is in the unions court now. Maybe they will break from tradition and ask to reopen the contracts who knows.

First off now is not the time to renegotiate the city is cutting basket trucks,leaf sundays as well as other things if you go back to the table now the city might say ok you can have this much but we want some heads on the chopping block (LAYOFFS).Plus by us not going back to the table and honoring our contract it looks good when we do sit down at the end of this contract.Trust me We don't whine and moan like other unions do our time will come soon enough

wow i guess I am suprised that there is actually an Union that doesn't moan and complain. Thats pretty cool. I like that.
Yeah, Sanitation Worker's contract is loaded with Incentives. I have an sheet in my office that shows the break down of the Incentives and how much each gets for doing it.
I am not even an Sanitation Worker yet but I deal with them alot and they get paid well. Esp when snow comes.
Its true what Kuai said about there is a clause in our contract that if other uniformed city agencies get a significant raise that we can open up the bargaining tables. I was told that on friday.
I wonder if some sanitation workers will be switching over to work for nypd since the money is better now?
They wont lose any of their years since its one of the city agencys... Maybe this will open up some spots for a new class
i think nypd will become an option again for guys taking city tests.the old starting salary was a joke for someone risking their lives.now a guy will take the dsny,fdny,nypd tests and could take nypd because of the new pay while before it wasnt worth it.its a quicker path than dsny and hope the dsny list has many converts haha
Two things i have to say ...It's about time for the NYPD. You will see alot of people that took this test take the NYPD path now because of the salary increase , it always happened and it will again .
Secondly , about the contract.. When Harry N. came to our class 2 weeks ago he told us then before this contract happened that they were going to re-open the contract negotiations and try to get as much as they can with NO give backs... Hopefully we hear something soon...
oh and when you guys finally get your wish and it does snow. You will be the same guys after 10 straight days of working 7pm to 7am, and you finally think your going to get to go home at 3am they force you for the next 4 days to work the ot even if you dont want it. Watch it will happen, and all the senior guys who stay out and do not dump during snow collection will go home and make you new guys do the relays on forced overtime. No matter what you say that you want the ot now 98% will not want it at 3am in the morning
couldnt agree more ...and just to add another thing.....when they make you work those 4 extra hours ot in the snow when there isnt even anymore snow to plow or shovel....just driving in circles for 12 hours
