Default Quit LIDO Training at FedEx

I'm wondering if we all should stop doing LIDO training. This new chart system is being pushed by the company not because they care so much about our backs. No sir, this is just a cost-saving program, nothing else. And since it is just that, why are we scrambling to complete the training while we're in the middle of stalled negotiations? Why don't we all instead, refuse to complete training until they settle the contract?

It isn't a safety issue because the company still must provide us the charts.

It won't impact us at all except having to continue lugging around our flight bags and that's not so bad, we've been doing that since the dawn of time. The company on the other hand will have to continue paying for both LIDO and Jepps which increases their costs, something they are trying hard to cut.

This seems to me to be a tool we could use right now. Am I missing something?
