Keep in mind that we also had a JNC working at the very same time the merger committees were working. The company came out with what has been coined the kirby proposal which was geared toward the east and had nothing for us out west. We were ready to counter when the award was issued then the east mec packed up all their marbles and refused to play anymore.

This tactic of theirs of going all in then demanding more when they lose is beyond belief. We can not and will not compromise after the fact my friend and willing to take it all the way to the ends of the earth on principle.
