Just to correct your revisionist history, it was only your MEC who has given any ultimatums.
Sir read Attachment "A" of the JCBA and ISL Protocol Agreement.
Specifically B.1. You see the part about "...may significantly change either the current ASA or XJT CBAs or that may significantly affect the terms of, OR negotiations or other process for determining the JCBA or SLI. The non-negotiating MEC may then determine that in its view such proposed (or when concluded ) actual agreement constitutes a joint agreement subject to ratification of BOTH MECs...."
The ASA MEC is doing its job under this agreement that YOUR MEC agreed to. I would expect no less if the shoe was on the other foot.
