On the contrary, a YES vote shows the company that they can violate our scope at will, drag out the 60-day grievance process for over a year, and then buy us off (or at least 51% of us) for pennies on the dollar.
A YES vote doesn’t lock in our scope for the duration of the NEA, it just invites further erosion.
That’s just where our opinions differ; I appreciate the time you’ve put into considering the deal and the time you’ve taken to state your opinion. It’s one of the best arguments for a YES vote I’ve heard yet.
