To date, 78 on the active PAFCA list have pulled the trigger on the ERP and that's a lot of votes.
Right. That's why it sure appears they are trying to tank the deal so they can claim its the (only other) union's fault.
With such a high percentage of sudden early outs, there is no reason to set it up so they are forced to vote for their own short term pay cut or not. While I'd like to think they would do the altrustic thing to help a significant number of their brothers and sisters, its bogus that such a decision is forced upon them in the first place, as it sure seems its been intentionally set up for "optics" likely over the FA union fetish.
