I gotta ask.....How much experience do you have being part of a union in Section 6 negotiations? With your screen name I’d guess you were/are exmilitary? To me, you are coming across as already impatient for a deal and we haven’t even entered negotiations yet let alone reached the amendable date! How much time will you give them? Better question is how much time will you give the company? EB has already said don’t expect a deal this year. I think you need to hold the company’s feet to the fire and back your union 100% in Section 6........no matter who is at the helm of the union. Without unity we are not going to be overly successful.
