IS THE FIX IN ON CONVENTION CONTRACT RATIFICATION?

We hear John Phillipenas and Donny Weimer aren't taking any chances on the ratification vote on Saturday June 4, 2011. Members are not being provided in advance of the ratification vote with written materials with which to review the language changes in the proposed labor agreement. Guess Phillipenas and Weimer don't want to answer any pesky questions about the language changes. Members can  expect a combination hard sell/ fear campaign at the meeting. Phillipenas and Weimer, who are Trustees of the Security Fund, failed to have the Fund Actuary calculate the necessary contribution rate  for 2011-2013 so any claim that sufficient funds were negotiated is nonsense.
