that is what you get when there are no BALLS involved in negotiation.
TG and DR have made those arguments for years and they keep coming back with watered down CBA. Because all they had to do is maintain a majority on the MEC Board since they were the only ones who voted on our contracts.
That is why TG and DR are not allowing a LEC BASE Meeting in ORD, because of the recall process would recall the two ORD reps and TG and DR will lose the majority and then they would also face a recall themselves.
The only reason TG and DR want to maintain the majority is to stay in power and almost guaranteed that they will pass the the new negotiated contract themselves. Dont be3 fooled that TG and DR will not allow the passing of there negotiated contract. They have already made the deal, we are just going through the motions so ALPA wont be sued.
