If the MEC can't trust the Negotiating Committee to negotiate, we have a big problem.

I see that you're still trying to plant a seed of discontent.
It's not the NC I'm worried about, it's the MEC. As always, what a herd of cats. Sometimes they struggle to give clear guidance to that NC. It's up to us to make sure the reps that make the most sense are voted in to keep everything right.
But, in the end, the MEC always pull the strings. If the NC doesn't please the MEC, they send the NC back to the drawing board. They aren't supposed to blindly send some POS out for a vote. All this is part of the process. A process that lacked transparency during the DW era. The result was a bunch of nasty surprises for those without the right contacts to keep them informed.
We are just seeing is how the sausage is made this time. What we should have is "Trust but Verify."
