[QUOTE=Sink r8;2193881]An interesting twist of logic you're making there: letting the majority affirm itself is shirking your duties, but usurping our voices is doing your job?

I you think the MEC's job is to negotiate agreements that improve our conditions, and let us decide for ourselves whether the results are goid enough, then no, this MEC hasn't done their job.

If you think being in the majority that managed the negotiating process, including the AIP's, requires taking ownership of your own work, then no, they haven't done their job.

If you think their job is to make decisions after debate and discussion with all other councils via their rep then no, they haven't done their job.

If you think their job is to present a credible, unified group in negotiations, with clear objectives, and clear authority, then no, they haven't





It's simple. We elect our reps, who comprise the MEC. A section 6 negotiation ends in that body voting a TA up or down (most of the time) If it's up, to memrat it goes. If we don't let this process work, why even have an MEC? Make all contract items, from MOU up thru section 6 negotiations memrat only.
