the last ta was a genuine insult.

the present amendment to our working agreement is at least in the ballpark. no thanks to the many advocates here and within our cba of the previous defective effort.

pass or fail....this ta does not materially correct the underlying corrosive damage to our representation circumstance.

pro-advocates of the ta, here, and within our cba, should appreciate flavoring the effort with anything other than it is better, but certainly short of an ideal achievement....risk fueling the insurgency they desire to squelch.
