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

That's a common misconception I see being thrown out. The JPWA was in the spring of 2008. The whole world was melting down. From the time of the first offer to the time of the second offer, the economic picture was even more dire. Things are a bit more rosy right now.
