Either you don't care to actually read what is in front of you or just want a quick payday before you retire, probably a combination of both. The MEC is not there to rubber stamp any document that is placed in front of them. That is why almost all the previous MEC were recalled for the Tumi TA.
You've been crying about wanting a deal NOW for a year+, well here you go. Hope the retro check and some add pay for working on your days off was worth it.
Actually I wanted a deal when the contract became amendable… but now is as good a time as ever. For the record, I only work on average 6-9 days per month now… so I’m guessing about the same days of work for more pay (normal and add pay) once this goes into full effect… win/win.
So here’s a simple question for you since you’re obviously a no voter… how do you explain the 18-5 vote in favor? Other 18 who voted YES were idiots and the 5 who voted NO are geniuses? Or maybe, just maybe, based on all the briefings they receive (that we don’t) led them to believe this deal is a good one? That ever cross your mind?
