===================================<\/p>\n
I. FACEBOOK CONVERSATION<\/p>\n
The following comment solicited several responses. We thought
\nyou should see them<\/p>\n
Initial Comment:<\/p>\n
Just read in the notes of the OVERTURE that our president earns
\n$120,813.00 a year, our vice-president earns $97,921.00 a
\nyear and our treasurer $97,921.00. With no work and the
\npension fund failing all I can say is ?????????<\/p>\n
Responses:<\/p>\n
– OR IN OTHER WORDS VOTE NO. They had a big several
\nyears ago that I agreed with hoping to get a better quality
\nadministration but we still have the same quality making
\na lot more money. We work less, they raise the dues and
\nwant more money. Does not make sense to me.<\/p>\n
-There is no sense involved. Only $$ for others, not the
\ngeneral membership in the form of gainful employment.<\/p>\n
-Our union is dying a slow and painful death. I have
\nbeen put out to pasture and these retirees make more
\nmoney not to play music than to play. Meanwhile the
\nmoney put aside in investment from paychecks of the
\nlittle people like me and you has been devastatingly
\ndivested. I hope they feel just a bit of guilt.<\/p>\n
-That is beyond the pale<\/p>\n
-This is so sad<\/p>\n
-That’s why I left the union<\/p>\n
=-We should be paying someone to handle the pension
\nmoney. They obviously don’t know what they’re doing.<\/p>\n
-People tried to bring this detail of high salaries up to
\nthe membership, pointing out the union was complaining
\nof not enough money and that is why they needed to
\nsell the building (got a phone call wanting my yes vote
\nsaying exactly that). High salaries were brought up then,
\nalso in context of musicians struggling and membership
\ndown. The uproar that happened from the membership
\nif the officers were dare examined. Oh my. The
\nmembership seemed FINE with it then. It was a mentality
\nof “Oh, must protect the officers at alllll costs”. Apparently,
\nthe industry wasn’t effecting enough people yet. Now it is
\nstarting to. Now it is hitting everyone in the pension. The
\npain is beginning to reach more members further up. Now
\nthis topic of the officers high salaries seems to be pointed
\nout once again, more and more, from the membership.
\nThe only question to me is, how bad will it have to be
\nbefore the membership votes on doing something about it.<\/p>\n
-Seems like they’re rearranging the deck chairs on the
\nTitanic on its voyage to Burbank.<\/p>\n
-There are many, many , many more non-union jobs going
\non that I’m hearing about. WHY is this? They could be,
\nbut why aren’t they?????<\/p>\n
-You mean you’re seeing what I’ve been preaching about
\nfor a decade??????<\/p>\n
-Didn’t the membership who showed up to one of the
\nmeetings even go along with voting down a resolution
\nthat said the union had to have a balanced budget?
\nJust now though…. now that everyone is getting hit
\nand not just a select few. Nowwwwww salaries are
\nbeing noticed. Too little too late I think.<\/p>\n
-This has been going on forever!!! And they wanted
\nto sell the building for $$$$ BIG BUCKS….and where
\ndo you think that money was going?? Do the math………..<\/p>\n
-Wanted to? The did sell it. They paid huge money to
\nsomeone and had them spread misinformation to sway
\nit into a yes vote by the membership. I got the call and
\nset the liar straight. But then he called greg and stuck
\nto his lies. It was unbelievable the script the callers
\nwere given to sway it into a yes vote. And in the end,
\nwhat was voted yes on didn’t happen. We voted on a
\nparticular building. That building fell thru. They bought
\nanother one. The membership never voted on that one.
\nBasically: sell the building, destroy the pension, no
\nresolution to even have to keep a balanced budget …..<\/p>\n
but HEY! Awesome huge salaries! Must be nice…. if it
\nwasn’t so disgusting what all is going on now.<\/p>\n
-If the membership had not been such scared apathetic
\ncowards something could have done<\/p>\n
-A pig gets fat a hog gets slaughtered.<\/p>\n
-Well lets do something about it now…spread this
\nacross Facebook. Start knitting hats (!)<\/p>\n
We will be in worse shape without the union. Individual
\nissues need ti be addressed individually. The Overture
\nopenly told you about this. Isn’t that ethical?<\/p>\n
