Will your union again tell you that you deserve better but they think you should take it because of the time value of money argument? Retro-pay or the Company preferred signing bonus? Is there enough resolve to vote-down a turd and start over again? That’ll take time. Resolve fades over time.

like I said, I wish you guys luck. You’ll need it. The system and time is against you. I’m also of the opinion that the only way you guys will ever get the contract changes that you need is through a strike. You’re just too far behind. You need to start over from scratch.

I do think you guys have the resolve to strike, Whether you’ll ever get the chance, that’s the question.

Absent a strike, you’ll more than likely get a TA designed to pass by 50%+1. That’ll be the real test of your resolve.
