It is not wasted time. It is my opinion that there is support to a modification to our current pay system. Also, have you sent that proposal to your new reps? If not I would.

I also "get" what you are getting at, but I am also telling you that, just because you "think/demand" it, does not mean the rest of your peers feel the same way. It takes a heck of a lot of work to get the changes you are seeking. Most do not want to put the work in, they just want others to do their bidding. That in effect is why we are where we are in our union. There is no "real" check and balance. For progress to happen, that needs to change.
