The most interesting part for me is the MEC not wanting the LEC reps there. The MEC does not want debate, they want 100% control of the message at these road shows. And they have it.

Everyone needs to remember this when this weak language blows up on all of us. The MEC will say: "Hey, YOU voted for it!". IMO, the MEC won this battle, but they will lose the war and be decertified for their actions. Specifically, the dictatorial control of our negotiations process that ignored our elected reps and put many of them in no-win situations. The MEC will have nobody to blame but themselves.
