So it seems like the union is going to publicize their opening position after sharing it with the company on the 5th. (There was a picture of a booklet that they posted on Facebook saying it was ready to be distributed). I've been through a few negotiations at different carriers and I can't ever recall the union putting out such specific details of their bargaining position. Is this normal or how it was done in the past? It seems like all the company needs to do is come peruse forums such as these after it's released to watch us bicker amongst ourselves over what is and isn't important to hone their negotiating strategy even more than it probably already is.

What are other people's thoughts on this?
