In a sense, they are right to think it. The act of marching around company HQ doesn't amount to anything. It's how we vote for a contract and how we exert market forces in the pursuit of a good contract. Sadly, our sorry state of the contract that 70-something percent of people voted for shows how defeated this group really is.
Didn't B6ALPA just send out a cryptic email regarding misinterpretations about commuting rules? I seem to remember this was addressed prior to the vote. I guess now we live with the mistake of a poorly written contract. Time to identify these failures and get them straightened out in the next one.
