Wow, gotta love union speak.

The employer offered you a contract. You refused to accept it. That is what the word means. It is a free country. They say how much they are willing to pay for a job and you decide whether or not you want that job. All of the AMLU guys, so far, have said no. Other guys have said yes.

I totally understand that you want a contract that gives you more compensation-good luck on your goal. You have every right to demand that.

But to say that you have not refused to work is absurd.
