I agree F-U is not a strategy, however equally "we'll take what you propose" is not either.
We are not reinventing the wheel. Even though we are highly skilled rocket surgeons, we have a bargaining agent that was misguided in the their assumptions. We are now rededicating and reconfiguring said agent. This will take time and effort because of the previous miscalculation. When ready management and our agent have to make a new calculation about what is acceptable. If our agent undershoots again we will be right back here.
If management accepts RESTORATION, our new MEC chairman's word, this could be over before the holidays. There is no magic "strategy." When it's acceptable to both parties it will be done. As far as TA1, F-U try again. That's what we said as a group. 65/35
