Cool Accountablity....

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a MEC-written summary. During the numerous AOC meetings discussing the LOA, Our MEC Chairman was very specific on this issue. FDX ALPA liked the 'verbal' aspect of the meetings.

I guess once you start putting things in writing, accountability raises it's ugly head, lawyers enter the room and the excuse, "I can't remember exactly what I said" flies out the window.

However, this sword cuts both ways....in defense against the Company on one side. On the other, it gives the MEC wiggle room when dealing with disgruntled Union members (just my opinion).

Remember the old saying: "What the Captain really meant to say ..."
