They know our process as well as we do. They know full well that a NO vote is possible. Thus, they would have been FOOLISH to give us their real bottom line on the first try. We'll be even more foolish if we take it.

Well of course I 'could be' wrong, I just doubt I am. For one thing, we both know these guys.....you know they want to show us who's boss, these are our sharks not the nice southern species
But seriously, they are willing to go direct if they can but they are also more than willing to stay on the published route. But, as to your point, remember they have shown how much they love us with the JCBA, how did the second offer look. I stand by my opinion.....there is no way they are going to show other employee groups that they are more flexibile with a union than if you don't have one.
I suggest we consult with our buddy Jack. He knows all and will lead us to total truth by the end of the evening. Too bad he charges so much in the Sports Bar for such consultation
