It is a disappointment that this TA even made it out of the negotiating room. This is a win-win for the company. Man they are good. We vote yes, then we are working under this POS. We vote no and the company saves even more money at our expense. Either way we will be under a sub-par contract for the foreseeable future. They win either way. Before yesterday, I would have thought this unbelievable that our union would put us in this situation. There was certainly no need to rush this. They should still be in the board room sitting across the table from each other.
I've seen it written that the NC did not meet the direction of the MEC or in line with the survey results (of course I cannot prove this because it is in the MEC lockbox), so why did they agree to it in the first place and so soon?
Thanks to all the reps who had the knowledge and courage to vote No.
