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?
‘Actually my understanding is the voluntary measures is an actual TA and will be considered/voted on as is. The other proposal is from the company and is just that, a proposal. No TA has been reached on it and hence there will not be a vote on it. I believe the MEC is going to be briefed on it and give direction to the negotiating committee.
