I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the JNC initiated release, in other words it's a joint decision. Can a single MEC request release on it's own initiative?
Well I'd love to see some pressure from our CAL bretheren on your MEC to get on board with this message. Clearly, things are NOT going well at the table. The JNC had to cancel a meeting the other week because the company didn't show up. The JNC update said this week that the company had retreated to teir stock 2010 position on work rules.... so 15 months of negotiations are now back to square 1. Heck, they are only meeting once a week!!!!!!! This is unacceptable. I'm VERY thankful that Capt Heppner has taken this step, as it is LONG overdue. I invite, request, and implore our brothers and sisters at CAL to draw the line in the sand and demand the contract we deserve. Otherwise, the pace of negotiations will continue at present levels. After 2 years, we have NO section of substance negotiated.
