This is going back to the MEC and I expect this summer to be a long painful schedule meltdown because people aren't going to be picking up open time.
But we could vote this in for a new Tumi suitcase.

Agree. After reading through all they documents, etc. this turd needs to be flushed with a complete re-write. I still think the company WANTS a new contract more than we do so they are motivated to get it done. Unfortunately, the MEC doesn’t even know what we want and will have a lot of legwork to do if this is (hopefully) voted down.
We have so much to lose and very little to gain if we vote this in…well except for the Tumi suitcase.
