In fact, a little give now could strengthen our position when we ask for an industry leading contract in a few months. In other words, what will a no vote accomplish in this case, besides further loss of pay. Believe me, if I thought a no vote would help us, Id be all about it but is seems like it could actually hurt us. Sounds like a turd sandwich or a double decker turd sandwich either way. Am I off base here?
Voting yes or no on this LOA isn't going to influence how 'nice' the company will be in section 6 negotiations. I'll say it right now: they aren't going to hand us a dime out of the goodness of their heart. I don't think this is a terrible LOA, but the majority of the value in it goes to management. And now we are being told vote yes or the company is going to shove something else down our throat? If that were the case, why would they have agreed to this LOA in the first place? Because of their benevolence or that our NC is so persuasive? Give me a break.
