Mike A. Recall Resounding Failure
Went to the LEC 26 meeting today. Mike survived the recall by almost a 3 to 1 margin. Don't remember the exact numbers, but about 120-45.
From my perspective, the mistaken motivation behind the recall seems to be the idea that voting against a TA is an unacceptable disloyalty to those who produced it. That's a bad way to expect MEC Reps to act in negotiations, voting on loyalty versus voting on the merits of the agreement. The ratification process for a contract is a "checkride" for the TA, it should not be a rubber stamp. Voting on loyalty is the surest way to march into an abyss.
With luck the vote indicates the level of support the "unsat" side has.
Mike was very magnanimous after the vote asking the recall initiators to help him represent them. I hope they do.
