Show them, expose them, prove it to them.... That's all I've been hearing for a month. Where's our focus? I want to strike too...for a contract!! All this passion and rage for a status quo strike....let's rage for a contract!! You're saying I want to give the company another month? NO! I'm saying give the NMB another month. They called this meeting. This could be it guys! This could be the meeting that pushes them over that edge...that makes them realize that a release is necessary. If not, and this just some stupid attempt to restart pointless negotiations...then we hit the pavement. Why risk angering even a single NMB member and possibly delaying a release.
