We voted 57/43 to reject a TA our MEC voted 13-1 to approve. That is NOT unity. Now the focus on websites like this, especially by guys like you, is to fire our MEC and NC and write new rules for our union. That is NOT unity. We’ve got guys publicly calling our elected Union representatives liars and traitors. That is NOT unity. We’ve got a significant percentage of our members claiming the “old guys” are only in it for themselves. That is NOT unity. Yet you think “for the first time we have shown real unity”. I sincerely hope you’re on the next NC. I’d even vote for you. If nothing else it would be entertaining.
Dude, by your logic we should just accept whatever f'ed up TA we are presented with because to do otherwise isn't leverage. In spite of the obvious fact that it actually is leverage. It's some seriously interesting "logic". UAL and DAL didn't have leverage either, by your definition, yet they got paid.
