This sums up my feeling on it too. It was originally presented as a way to get the company through early January by acting as an incentive. SWAPA did the right thing by giving them the Heisman and telling them to pack sand.
At this point, it's free money. It would be pretty bad if a union turned down free money for the majority of their members out of pride or spite. It may even open them up to lawsuits.
