Captain723 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Anyone get a National contract book yet??????? . Sure is taking a long time to get them printed . You must be new....they will be printed by Nov. Same as every contract. They have to proof read several times once changes are made. Once proof read, changes are then get sent back to the printer, the printer then re- prints and then sent back, the whole thing has to be re-proof read to make sure no other mistakes and if so then it is s ent back and the whole process is done again and again. If you are looking for something specific you can contact your Local Union and they have a copy of the white pages!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the blue book Captain but not everyone does, thats runs into another problem with going to you're local have you been transfered lately ? well allot in DTP have and allot of people should not have to drive 2 hours round trip for simple questions to be answered that they should be able to look up themselves. I don't remember it taking 2 years for the 99 contract I will take you at you're word , it simply should not take that long.
