Regarding theexpansion

Cannot oppose the views of the majority they are myrepresentatives and I have to believe their judgement

No promise of pay increase for employees means fewermemberships for the Union

Financial investment plan for expansion is not viable financial crisis of company

EXTREME LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN EXPANSION MAJORRISK!


Majority of Union opposes theexpansion!!

I have to consider

Union stability!!

For the expansion to be supported by the Union we would need tosee at least some benefits to our members. No such benefits havebeen outlined in Dharma Techsproposal!!
