1st year pay
PSC
virtual bases
reserve rules
None of these things are of any benefit to me. Do I care if we spend negotiating capital on them? Actually I do. If I expect a contract to pass that benefits me, it is also going to have to benefit brothers who work along side me but who don't live under the same circumstances I do.
Just bring me a package. Let me digest it. Let me hear some Pros and Cons from some adults [ not "it's mine", "no, its mine!"]. I don't plan to vote so somebody else gets a good deal, I plan to vote for a package that gets what a significant majority of us decide is a good deal overall for our individual circumstances. If somebody gets furlough protection, good for them.
1Bob = 1 vote.
