The union was going to email us and go scorched earth on the company that Sunday, but apparently got a call from someone backtracking.
Sounds like there has been a LOT of back and forth since then, which leads us to today. “Rumor” is that we’re down to 1 component outstanding to be agreed to, but it’s all dependent on our f’king board agreeing that we’re worthy.
This week will be telling, right? We either come out of mediation Friday with a completed agreement or there is not an agreement to be had. If that’s the case, we need to go scorched earth on the company.
That is the exact opposite of what the last NC email said. Now, in the interest of fairness, it's possible on the 7th that the company would give a quasi 'lbfo'. They wouldn't call it that of course, but negotiations after that are kaput. It wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if the company was throwing in last minute poison pills like the fuel thing. And my greater point would be they wouldn't be getting away with such tactics if the previous NCs had been doing their jobs.
