I believe that the introduction of CW/CE classifications will destroy the unity of our membership by creating a multiple tier wage structure and eventually drive out the JIW as a practical classification apart from supervision.
I am against reforming our membership to encourage lower skill levels and lower standards of education.
Most of all I am against using low wage workers to compete against the legacy our forebearers worked and sacrificed for to create this great trade union.
I am also strongly opposed to the efforts of our International Office in Washington D.C. to impose upon our Local Unions this sweeping approach to alter their working agreements and negotiating positions with their regional and national contractor associations to get these classifications embedded into our contracts.
Sincerely,
The momentum behind this petition proves our members are finally waking up to the betrayal coming from the International Office. Ed Hill and his people in D.C. can no longer ignore this fire because we are not going to let them dismantle our trade for cheap labor.

This is a slap in the face to every journeyman who put in the years to learn this trade right. Stop selling us out for cheap labor

RIDICULOUS. We worked too hard for these standards to just roll over now. Keep the wage structure like it is.
