Instead, NWALPA picks up the ball and goes home. Now, they've gotten what they've asked for, yet are still being "thrown under the bus".
For the record, we've got you down as the first one who got "screwed in the merger".
Sorry, I am a hypocrite by not following my own advice. I have taken several deep breaths, and will now sit back and watch what happens.
I'm glad DALPA got what is hopefully a base contract. I also hope that the two MEC's continue to negotiate a SLI, and come to an agreement. Sometimes it's hard for me to see both sides of the coin.
