Good summary, JustNarced. Current workforce is highly motivated to trip over itself to brag about how much money they can make. This doesn’t reconcile at all with the “inflation is killing us” crowd that’s not especially interested in constantly rearranging their lives to make a few more bucks..but they seem to be the minority. Management knows this, they have the numbers to prove it.

IMHO, the point of the “no confidence” vote was to strengthen confidence in the MEC leadership, nothing more.

“We must do something!”
“This is something!”
“We must do that!”


(No real critique of it per say. RLA really gutted union power in the US a long time ago. Available tools are quite limited. This is one tool. They used it. Now what?)
