So it’s never too early to talk about what needs to be improved, squeaky wheel and all. So I’ll always talk about what can or should be improved. Feel free to ignore if you want.
I never mentioned perfect. There is no such thing in any human endeavor. But if you feel that nothing else other than pay and retirement can or should be improved and therefore we should just settle for negotiating only those two items, then we simply disagree. Not a big deal. But rolling over on everything else will never lead to improvements we deserve.
Where did the MEC say they would definitely open up other sections if we can't come to an agreement during our current negotiations. How would that play to the NMB? Hmm, you agreed to everything except money, now you want our help but are going to open up all other sections. The only thing that aches on me is my stomach from laughing at your posts. And I wouldn't hold your breath on getting mid contract improvements. How did that work out with improving our retirement mid contract?
