Christian Ortega expressed deep dissatisfaction with the company's offers, stating, "What they offered us was basically a slap to our faces... we lived in a three-percent world, meaning we would not get anything more than that." He emphasized the disconnect between the negotiators and the actual cost of living in California, noting their lack of understanding due to their own significantly lower cost environments. As he pointed out, when they see what's presented here, they think it's all inflated.
Stephan Noorwood highlighted additional frustrations, mentioning, "the company has also brought in busloads of salaried workers from Texas and Las Vegas to keep the facility operating during the strike." This strategic move by the company adds to the tension and frustration among existing workers, who feel their concerns are being sidelined by management's approach.
Jose Tobar reflected on the past negotiations, stating, "They had to give us a raise, so they came up with (an extended) contract and said that moving forward, there will be a better one in the future but that didn't happen." His comments reveal the ongoing discontent with broken promises regarding wage increases and fair treatment.
