As far as the time to pick a battle on this...how about after we've all read the full TA and listened to the presentations by our "My NC Speaks For Me" negotiating team. We've spent four years insisting the company listen to them and them alone, and now a lot of guys on this website have decided neither the negotiating committee or the MEC speak for them or are even worth hearing from...less than a week after they voted to approve a TA. Would you consider that a patient and situational awareness gathering approach to joining the four year old engagement between the NC and FedEx?
I agree with your second paragraph. Especially your concluding sentence.
