Because if I'm voting on the whole ball O' wax again, SHEEEEEEEE!!T HOT! I get to say NO again!!! But if I'm simply voting on the "bennies" we've managed to scrape up (since it was "the best we could do" the first time around) and I vote "NO" again am I really doing anything other than hurting fellow crewmembers? I'm trying to determine the message that should be sent.... So I can't with any good conscience say "yes" to ANYTHING that's been thrown our way yet...
What to do....
Leroy:
You voting on the new LOA, which contains some minor improvements, and some BIG givebacks. (The Paragraph N that I quoted, and the trains and boats ground trans that Foam Flier quoted.)
If this new LOA is voted down, the old one is still in place and will remain so.
And again, as a crewmember who IS GOING TO HKG, I am voting No. (As is Foam Flier, based on his post). Believe me, the minor improvements in this LOA are not going to be missed by anyone going to HKG.
As always, vote your conscious and consider the message you are sending to the company and Union with a Yes vote, especially with 2010 around the corner.
