Then let's hope next Wednesday the MEC stands tall and sends it back rather than out for a membership vote--that is if it's only a decent TA.

I want a great contract. We deserve it and the leverage was/is there. It will never be better than through the end of this year. A nice pay raise the first year only won't cut it with me if the rest of it isn't great.

It worries me that it was only 9-5 to approve the resolution. That implies to me there are some significant areas that need improvement. We have to live with this for just short of a decade so it should be damn good.

MEC, do your job and if it's not great, send it back. I don't want a member vote simply to have one...that would be abdicating responsibility. Only approve a TA to be sent for vote if you think it's great!
