Again with the fear accusations???
What is this 2010???
There is no two ways about it. Voting down a TA creates a lot of unknowns, not the least of which is the timeline. In this case many argued that management had a new TA ready to pull out if the first one failed. All we had to do was be brave enough to vote it down. Complete BS!!! Of course it devolves into elementary schoolyard accusations of cowardice. Complete nonsense! It is not fear, it's pragmatism plain and simple.
Each individual has their reasons for voting as they did. We should all respect the process and each other because there is still a lot at stake.
70%ers vs 30%ers tribalism is damaging to our cause.
It's our CBA, 100% of us.
Tell yourself whatever you need to so you can sleep well at night. I have accepted that this is OUR CBA. I admit there are very valid reasons many people voted yes. I just wish people would admit to themselves that we got played, and hopefully avoid making the same mistake again. And I'm not just talking about the vote. Big mistakes were made in the process as well. I don't know about you, but I'd like the chance at not being bottom of the industry forever.
