Perhaps that's why the MEC has asked us not to discuss negotiations or tactics on sites like this.
I'm not even discussing the merits of demerits of picking up VDAs, RSAs or open time. For all you know I may even agree with you. I simply choose to follow the guidance of the people who we pay to make these decisions for us...the MEC.
Crusade away though and do whatever you think is best. Me? Well we voted in a union and I intend to let it do the job.
Yeah but the MEC can't encourage people to stop picking up open time. If they could I'm sure they would. (Or at least would hope so.)
But you and I as individuals can choose not to, because we are smart enough to figure out helping the company while they are messing with us is a bad idea.
