Applying that to our particular situation, we get:
TA2 effective 07/01/2019
TA2 amendable 09/01/2025
If the MEC wants to take us down that road, I want a vote first.
*if my info is incorrect, let me know. I got it off APC.
We're not there yet, but our internal politics could certainly take us in that direction.
A great example is the time our MEC recently wasted by putting Captain Dickson on Executive Inactive status. Word is he took the decision under protest and is accepting the request rather than provoke the MEC to pi$$ away more time on the topic.
He's donating his dues reduction to the Delta Care Fund, so at least something good came out of that little gesture.
Now back to work boys, your NC and SME's are telling you a valuable deal is there if you have the discipline to do your job and work together towards it.
