I can almost guarantee you that the initial cadre will be almost exclusively 32%ers. Why? Because we wanted to go. Because we are in a socio-economic position to afford it. Because we read the ****ing LOA because we were genuinely interested and realized that it was a ****ty deal so we voted NO!
Somebody quoted Chimenti at some point saying "Don't take money out of those guy's pockets that want to go, vote yes." Well, you took a lot more away by voting this in.
I just want to make sure that all of you YES voters remember the basis for your decision when negotiations come around. "We have no leverage, we'll fix it when negotiations come around," you snivel. I'll remember that. Odds of these deals improving with so many other issues to tackle on the next CBA: 0
I know I don't have to bid it, but I am probably going to because I can make it work. Every bad deal that goes down will be reported, and I expect all you 'yes' men to be thumping your chests come contract time since you now have your precious 'leverage.'
