The involuntary deal has to pass the MEC, then pass MEMRAT. This could potentially save all furloughees, but could also decimate the contract for months (years) to come.
Have I summed it up right?
I think so with one caveat. I don't think the negotiating committee sent anything to the MEC that would decimate the contract, unless you mean the real definition of decimate (reduce by ten) not the new english definition where it became synonymous with annihilate. They want 15% avl cut, we want zero. Lets see if 7.5% is palitable.
people may still vote no, but 15% is where negotiating started from.
