The fact that the precedent was set to release portions of the CBA by crying wolf HAS and WILL affect each and every one of us. Good on you that you can't see the direct affect in your micro prospective from the June meltdown, but the effects of a naive MEC's decision to relieve portions of the contract without getting the compensation in writing first, instead accepting a vague "we'll take care of you" from the company, has set us all back. Remember that the expectation of compensation for the contract relief is not an internet created outcome, but it came right from Ackerman's mouth! One which he spoke of multiple times in the aftermath...funny how quiet he is on the subject now.
