Your management, your union, your SCOPE CLAUSE, all irreverent it was all CAL's fault. It's all a great conspiracy started back in 2000.
Is it too hot outside? That was also CAL's fault.
The JCBA had many flaws... however, were you going to get a better deal..... ?? That is the bottom line. It doesn't matter if your ego/identity feels justly compensated. In the corporate world, you are free to quit to allow fresh non jaded new hires to take your place with positive attitudes and 'just happy to have a job' mentalities....
What you need to reconcile, was, were you going to get a better deal? The money you left on the table... were you going to get what you justly deserved for your sacrifices and make up for the money left on the table.... this is what you can not answer... making your NO vote irresponsible because while admirable, was going to yield less money in the long run for your sacrifices. Just the like the USAPA guys... they've been losing money for years.....
