As far as I'm concerned, it they actually said that, they should be recalled. As I have said before, they abdicated their responsibility to be the first line of defense.

That right there tells me all I need to know. They didn't like it, and they want YOU to turn it down.

See above

I am not afraid of the NMB and I am not going to sell out all these concessions for a piddly 8% raise. I voted yes to 2012, only because my Capt. Rep told me we would NEVER see those two 3% raises, but we did, and now we get to see two more 3% raises, with very little improvement to our retirement funding! The MEC set a low bar in 2012, and now a 3% raise will be the new normal.

Not going to fall for that again.
