With you shiznit, it's hard to know whether you really believe anything this naive or whether you're just carrying the water for the MEC administration...again. There is absolutely zero chance that our negotiators are trying to go above our survey demands. None.

By "cashing the PS" check we get 1/3 of 20% of that 1B. That's about $83 Million. This is a SMALL number.
I prefer a BIG number over a SMALL number. Don't you?
(It still needs to be the right deal in QOL, not just "a" deal.)
Translation: Profit sharing is bad and risky. We need to give it up for higher pay rates.

Completely wrong. The worst thing we could possibly show is a unified face of willingness to accept whatever we're told to accept by our unelected bureaucrats. When we show the face of refusal like we're showing now, that disorients management. That concerns them because labor risk was supposed to be completely off the table.

Except you're the one working hard to undermine that effort Shiznit. You need to rethink what you're doing here. Fast.
