As far as APA goes..........I think you are comparing apples and oranges. I agree that we broke the log jam with C2012. It's a minor reason for why I voted for it. We have a much better current/active contract than they did for those years. Again, why can't we follow the foot print of negotiations for C2001?

I would love to follow that footprint. But, that was a 100% unified MEC and the results showed. Arguably it was the best contract ever. I voted NO because of the scope. It sucked big time, but the pay was outstanding. Our MEC is nowhere as unified and is more or less split down the middle. Council 1 and 20 are certainly not happy with the MEC and they have chosen to make that fact public. This isn't lost on the company negotiating team and RA.
