I will vote accordingly.
You're right man. I've given this another look and my previous thought that maybe this could be accepted by getting SWAPA's scope - still wouldn't be enough. I originally saw this ALV stuff as an example of neutral bargaining where you give away something to get something. But this is a straight-up concession. This would be neutral bargaining if the increases in ALV were offset by a 6.5 to 7 hour per day minimum daily credit...but that's NOT the case. Thus the folks here calling this a flat out concession are right.
Absolute NO vote from me and yet another urging of my reps to vote this down. I cannot imagine how our MEC bureaucrats could be this out of touch with us.
