In general, the vast majority of our work rules, QOL, etc were either part of the existing work rules from pre 1999, or were implemented in C1999, or were the result of LOA's made outside of Section 6.
Thanks for the good info, skybolt.
Not disagreeing with you, neither do I have an agenda to proclaim.
In an effort to get more folks involved, I credited the previous work done by y'all.
The benefits of which, regardless if it were the MEC, strike vote, etc., we are ALL currently enjoying and therefore have a responsibility to protect.
When it comes to a union contract, my belief has always been that, the rules are meant to protect us from management's indiscretions, not from each other.
If a rule does not pertain to me, or benefit me personally, I still support it.
If I disagree with it, I try to change it, but still respect it.
Let's vote on what we need addressed in the upcoming negotiations.
Breaking rules we do not agree with, undermines our rules and efforts.
