You are correct about the 7 day review, however any and everything in the policy manual can be waived by the MEC.

The negotiating committee could still come up with an agreement over the weekend or even early next week.

You think the reps are going to vote to extend the MEC meeting over the weekend into the following week just to comply with said policy? Or do you think they might vote to waive the 7 day review period?

Just sayin.
