they say the radio Show will make
them more accessible. But look at 
how the employees is treated. They
never listen to the employees. When
ever there is a promotion on the
bid board, they have the qualification
written for the person they want. After 
the way they treated gas and water
department, you can't believe anything
they say or do. These people destroy
you if you disagree with them. Did
yall no that when you go to a straight
talk meeting there are certain question
you can't ask the president. Believe
or not MLG&W in slowly becoming a
Police state. Did yall no they already
got certain people ready to call
in on their talk show.

yall do no that MLG&W is coming up
with a Radio Program to counter-
act yall website. They have done 
so wrong until now they going to 
try to use a Saturday Talk Program
on the radio to fool the people.
They no the word is getting in these
churches and they need something to
counter-act the employees. They never
really try to solve the real problems

in bad shade.

thats right go ahead do what the man says
if the united way is such a good place then
donate on your own and stop giving the company 
credit,most of the time the only time you see them 
is when they come around for this,they get pounts when
there whole dept gives!! it's time they give back to us!
they draw huge paychecks and then want us to make them look good!
give to any charity you want,but not for the sake of mlgw! peace-out

WE all are saying what the
company is doing,but no one
is man or woman enough to step
up and help BAT.We all know what
they are cooking up,but we as union
members are cooking something better.
As we all write and read on this WEB
SITE we are letting people know just
what kind of Leaders we really have.
I,m pretty sure all of our City and
County Officials are also reading
this WEB SITE too.I,m also sure that
there,s going to be a Changing of the
at the top pretty soon in the near
future.We really don,t want to be
another ENRON..WORLDCOM..on the run.
The best we all can do is stick together
as one,makes no different if you are
Black,White,Hispanic,or what ever race
when one falls,we all fall.When one
one rise,we all rise.That's what Unions
are all about..Say what you may,we
all still can end up like the people
at these failed company's.People Unions
do make a difference..............

i agree that the only time management
look like they care about safety
is when a person get hurt. i think
that this was a good discussion
at the executive board meeting
last night. everybody opinion was
management want to talk the talk,
but don't want to walk the walk.
safe seem to be a concern when the
employee mess up. what the employees
thinks is never on the management
high priority to listen to.
