I think this change is positive, but too close to call yet.
This will show in the attitude of the NC in the coming months.
I prefer not to comment on the character of our reps, but rather on what they accomplish.
Did the recently recalled MEC officers support a negotiating plan which needed help?
The new MEC may have a more optimistic/aggressive view of what/how we should be negotiating.
We can do much better than focusing on +30% pay and keeping most rules!
What good does a quick signing do, if what we sign is a work in progress?
Anyone think we will do better in 5 years?
Job protection, retirement, must be addressed, before too late.

IF NOT NOW WHEN?
