You think they just sit around all day and then go to one meeting with the company every few months?
You should call up MM and ask him what his deal is, I am sure that will be a nice learning experience for you.
Also, the NC has their hands tied with what they can and cannot communicate to us. While they are our voice, they are negotiating for us, they are also signing and under NDAs for certain things when it comes to meetings with the company. This is why we have a whole national ALPA legal team which keeps this all in check.
Man you and Fcool should swap numbers. You don’t know my background. You also make some serious assumptions. Never once said anything about MM in this conversation. While I’m not pleased with canceling the picket I’ve actually defended him numerous times. But when you go look at certain people on the NC who I’m not sure why they would take so much FPL during a time where there was ZERO need for it. The answer I got was to prepare the books for the mediator…. Alright you got me, but does that take an entire f’n month of FPL to do? No no it doesn’t.
