What happens next week, if some of the 12 decide to let the NC finish the MEC's work, and the majority on the MEC flips? Will that change the will of the group? Not in the least.
Nothing beats the pilot group driving the union. "Bottom-up", right?
Happy Labor Day to you!
It all comes down to what the 19 reps decide is the pulse of the membership today, tomorrow, the day that they sit down to vote on a TA. Bottom up, as it should be, is what our union represents today, much more so than it did when we educated the 19 reps last July. I'm confident that our 19 reps will pass a TA worthy of our wants onto us to vote on. If the TA doesn't meet that bar, then we move onto plan C.
Happy Labor Day to you and yours as well!
