I agree. The end product should be an LOA that we get to vote for. I don't know why the union can't do something like that anyways, figure out the final product, and before they actually agree to it, submit it to us for a vote. Seems like that ought to be required, to ask us our opinion before we are stuck with something significant, forever.

Perhaps because it's all rather vague, the union in the end, can decide to not agree to do it before the implementation period (at least that's how I read it). It also seems like this could take a long time to figure out, so it is not in the near horizon. Plus, how it is presented is that it is better than the crappy system we have now. It sounds rather nebulous as it stands.
