For the record, I would love to know what "the ask" is, but I know that it's just not a good idea to publish that. Negotiations are never simple. We simply will not get everything we want, but I'm confident that we can get a good deal that we can vote on.
You already have a say via your rep. We had a say when we took the survey. You get another say, when it comes time to vote on a TA. For most reasonable people, this is enough of a democratic process to satisfy them. Is the slope too steep? Yeah. However, it might take more than 1 negotiating cycle to fix it. If we stomp our feet and demand demand demand, this isn't negotiating and it will result in being put on ice - guaranteed! The deck is already stacked against us with the RLA, now you guys want to stack it even higher with Audi and MH's twisted rhetoric?
