Lol, some valid points, I don't think you're alone Scooby. The NO vote is certainly cheaper for the company.
I will say this. After reading all of this, digging in the TA(have much to go)if I were named in the TRO and part of the MEC/NC, I'd personally be stepping down because the next IROP is going to be a blood bath. I don't think it will be a concerted action (hopefully we learned that doesn't work unless lawfully completed), but rather individuals putting up there own wall where a line use to exist. I'll be surprised if we don't end up in court again.
I really hope those that spoke out last time can restrain themselves from here on out so as not to be harmed.
This TA may actually serve as more of a movational tool than any lanyard ever will. It's time for this group to get off its butt and start really participating in union activities.
I used to be sure this thing would pass, now I'm kind of hoping it fails close to 90%. 100% would cement our position at the table, but we all have different needs and wants.
My personal beef is how far it lacks in ALL sections. I was expecting there to be a few sections where we get to win. Yes its a good pay raise, but giving up SO much in the scheduling department is ludicrous when paired with pay that is NOT even close to industry standard.
Anywho, see you at the road show. I suspect those will be a bit more exciting than the TA.
