This smells of a backroom deal.

No agreement with a full management shopping cart and no discussion of money items, then a short notice special MEC meeting with no agenda. Then a TA with all big ticket items, pay etc. settled in a day. After coming to a separate grievance settlement on scope? Hmmm. All right on management's timeline.

The only way to be sure is to make them continue to talk. Sending the negotiators back with a member mandate is a show of strength, not weakness. The roadshow will portray it differently. I can't wait to ask these traitorous questions. I am certain I will be marginalized as a radical. Now the grass has roots and I'm a big tuber just under the surface.

Take back your union or find one that works for you not management. I guess I will be renewing my DPA card. I thought we were going to be respected this time.

"on time on target" = on managements time and target
Last, best, final? What was the first, worst, lowball?
