1) If the company’s counter offer, due on the 18th, were deemed incremental or unacceptable (subjective) the MEC chair would have “personally declared an impasse.”
why does the MEC chair feel that power and control should be centralized to his position? this mentality got us where we are now. Our previous MEC chair was all about it, as was which the MEC wasn’t willing to do. so yeah, maybe recalling the MEC chair would best for us, collectively speaking.
the MEC chair brought us here. he failed to lead, to make the hard decision in firing PM. obviously, he can’t lead the block reps, either, who are not only tired of this nonsense, but ready to commandeer the ship and steer it in the right direction.
all my opinion.
Fixed most of it for you. You're entitiled to your opinion but it's clear you don't even understand how the MEC works. First of all, BW isn't called the "MEC". He's the MEC chair. The MEC is the body of 14 elected reps. They make the decisions. BW works for the MEC, not the other way around. He chairs the meetings, but he doesn't "lead the block reps". They are in charge.
This whole thing is an abolute abortion. I thought UAL's post-TA rejection antics were bad, but this is downright embarrassing.
