Oh man this thing is full of more concessions than a Friday night game. When you see it make sure you thank those who negotiated it for you. If I'm wrong I'll be the first to come here and offer a mea culpa, but you can count on them not doing the same.
Also getting voted down isn't an inevitable either. Guys are happy with the current work rules and conditions. If they werent they wouldnt be falling all over themselves to pickup open time and extend. Any pay increase will be seen as a win from that camp and there's a lot of them around here. Don't be fooled. just cause they're too busy flying EXTRA to be on here doesn't mean that they ain't Legion.
We are our own worst enemies
