We need more than that gloopy. Since "meet and confer" is part of an agreed to settlement of the Ford-Cooksey lawsuit, there is absolutely
no reason for those required proceedings to not be recorded and transcribed. The moment our opener is exchanged with management, those transcripts should be released to the members so we can see EXACTLY what was said and by whom. This would give us all the transparency we need to see EXACTLY what meet and confer really means.
Standing by for the analogies of:
1. We can't do that, it would be like showing our hand in poker.
2. We can't do that, because we don't want management to know what was said (or our members).
3. We can't do that because.....
