We might not even need the mediator involved if these are just term sheet dollar items and a scope side letter clarification. The alternative of recalling everyone, training new members, re-opening sections etc. seems like it would play into the company's divide and delay tactics.
I don’t think it was close. We have about 500 on probation who could not vote. This block seemed to be predominantly No. When you factor that in the vote could have potentially be 60s against to 30s for.
We have seen that we have lots of qualified folks ready to step up. I think it is time for MEC/NC to give the process some new blood and energy.
I would like to see a calm transfer of power in the form of resignations vs recalls. We will see how it shakes out.
They (MEC/NC) tried their best, but it was not good enough.
Lastly, the mediator cannot meet before Labor day. We did the first hard step of NO and we should not rush the process.
NO one left behind since amenable date for A plan and no splitting the group with Union busting pension scheme:
