The problem with this argument is that the position he is supporting DOES NOT benefit the VAST majority of us, and to waste union dollars to FIGHT for it is insane when we will have numerous other fights in the future (retirement penalty for leaving prior to 65, B fund spinoff, medical issues, etc.).
There has got to be more to this than just some Seniority thing...lawsuit prevention, hooking up some pals, etc.
If it's lawsuit prevention then come on out and tell us, if it's something else, have the guts to do the same!
