Sad thing is, the way this was done. Not that I was against it, just lets do it right and not get caught. This ExCo isn't open to advice and surrounds themselves with too many "inexperienced yes men" that are easy to manipulate. The ExCo got some advice from veteran union guys over two years ago on this issue that cited the same exact work action references and NLGA the Judge used to rule for the company. But the new sheriff in town ExCo Chair would have none of it and made a spectacle of it. Company gave us two years of rope to hang ourselves with and we obliged them. The crew calls, ATAMS, etc making it a spectacle shot us collectively in the foot and now the company has an injunction to use against the union and crewmembers.

We might be better off saving the money wasted on a low probability appeal win for the next court case coming up on amalgamation vs section 6. Probably why the company is locked up with us now negotiations wise. Waiting for that case to happen and probably in their favor reading section 1, the timelines in the framework agreement and this injunction of what really happened that brought us to this point.
