D9 Bargaining Report

First Quarter Results

RTO- Sambar Town Hall
To whomever submitted the question (paraphrasing) -- "...has leadership conducted a study to determine the environmental impact of RTO..." etc. etc. Answer, during roaring laughter: "No" Let it go. They do not care.

How can a company even function with so much debt? How can there be any confidence in leadership that put us in this position?
