Adam Carrigan finally folded and negotiations are back on the table because we forced his hand. This is what accountability looks like when you stop letting union leadership ignore the official vote. Keep a close watch to ensure they actually push the ACQ DEMO transition through this time.

Following the AFGE Local 1904 employee union’s withdrawal on 20 Jun 2018 from negotiations to transfer CECOM employees into the ACQ DEMO pay system, we hereby express our lack of confidence in our Union representation.
FACTS:
An official vote was held among CECOM Union members on 18 Apr 2018. The results were 304 in favor and 180 against entering ACQ DEMO. Based upon the results of this vote, AFGE Local 1904 leadership is required to ensure the intentions of the majority are met. It is understood that negotiations will be conducted in good faith to reach a positive result.
RESOLUTION:
Adam Carrigan, President of the Union (AFGE 1904), does not have the mandate to withdraw from negotiations to enter ACQ DEMO. The signatories on the petition believe Mr. Carrigan acted in haste by withdrawing. No consultation with the membership occurred before Mr. Carrigan withdrew. We hereby ask Mr. Carrigan to re-enter negotiations immediately. If Mr. Carrigan refuses to re-enter negotiations, we request Mr. Carrigan step down from his position to allow someone else to finish negotiations.
NOTE: All comments are welcome, but please keep them professional. Thank you.

Adam Carrigan and the rest of the AFGE 1904 leadership are still ignoring the clear results of our vote while they hide behind excuses to avoid ACQ DEMO. Their refusal to re-enter negotiations is a complete betrayal of the workers who pay their dues and expect actual representation.

Time to resume negotiations! We voted to convert to AcqDemo and it needs to be fully completed. To drop out without talking to the workforce and radio-silence of the union "Reps" is unacceptable behavior. Move it forward!
The Union failed us before by deciding to take us out of Acq Demo a few years ago and it appears they are again making the decision based on their desires not the union as the union members already voted once to go to Acq Demo.
The union president has disenfranchised us! What good is the voting process when the voice of the members is ignored? We need to move to Acq Demo immediately!! If not, the next vote should be to decertify.
Negotiations need to resume. What was the purpose of voting? You asked for our input in voting but failed to do so in making this decision. How can you request that we trust the union?
Union President Adam Carrigan is full of excuses, but nothing that Agency Management has done is a deal breaker. However, to fight what they see as "anti-employee" Executive Orders, this Union has become the thing it hates, completely ignoring the will of the employees it is supposed to represent. If we weren't part of a Union, we'd already have Acq Demo, like the other APG employees!
IN FAVOR OF ACQ DEMO
Adam Carrigan and all of the rest of AFGE 1904 representatives have been completely ineffective the entire 8 years I've been with CECOM so this isn't surprising. They need to do what was voted for by the people they claim to represent. They have no right to do as they please and go against the vote.

I am a bargaining unit member but not a union member. Was considering joining but if this is the way union leadership behaves, never mind.
