Honest question, have you not read any of the emails this past week or watched the video? Did they not state plain and clearly what the process was. As the NC stated last week, a meeting had to happen per the policy and that had not been set yet. I would assume many of the MEC members were on trips when the agreement was reached. You know, logistics.
Today it was published that the meeting would be Friday. It’s honestly embarrassing to see how disengaged some of the more notorious posters are. Many of them have plenty of time to come on this website, yet can’t read emails from the actual source. Very professional…….. We wonder why we are discredited by management.
Honest answer... I've watched it 3 or 4 times. I've read every email. I've kept up with things on the Alpa website. What I don't understand is why the voting members couldn't have been keeping up with this thing as we went along and voted over Zoom last Tuesday if that's what was needed to avoid wasting another 11 days plus whatever additional time they need on this issue. We don't know how much time they intend to waste at this point. The language that was approved on Monday wasn't much. If there's some extra thing that's involved with no way around it then it hasn't been spelled out at all.
At this point, it's spilled milk and it's more important to get things correct, but we're all out thousands of dollars because we wasted this time. The next election we have, amending this wasteful process will be something I ask of reps.
