[QUOTE=SharpestTool;1904221]Been working the last few days.

Do we have a consensus yet on plan B? I hear a lot saying their voting no. What is the prevailing opinion?

1. We go back to RA and he capitulates.

2. RA says pound sand and see you at the NMB in March

3. NMB says, "Damn DALPA we agree with your position and we release you for self help." Timeline?

4. NMB says "Damn DALPA, can I have some of that crack you're smoking? Here's an iceberg for you to sit on for awhile." Timeline?

5. Vote in DPA and start over.

Voting No is half the equation. The other half is what happens next and when it happens. Seems if people are going to plead that everyone should vote no, they should then tell us what to expect if successful.[/QUO


Don't post much but this post represents pretty much what I resent about DALPA. The negotiators negotiate, send a concessionary TA to the MEC. Some reps abdicate their duty and pass the buck to us. Now, when we call out the negatives in this horrible TA the DALPA FPL folks blame the membership for DARING to disagree!!

And then say WE should come up with something better. I thought that's what we paid dues money for.

I don't think it's professional to pin this on the membership. Some people seem to be too invested in their positions at DALPA and frankly seem to rubber stamp whatever comes from the negotiators.

I was a yes in 2012 and a solid NO on this one.
