You can see from the discussions ongoing that your above comment is, as you say, the reality. The very few times we appear to be or look like a union is when each "every man" compares what the union can do for him, and what he can do for himself independently, and determines that the best course for himself is with the union position.

Interest in helping the union body as a whole and possibly avoiding furloughs, even though it would mean personal sacrifice (which is the genesis of all the recent discussion on open time) is mostly lacking. For the majority, it is "every man for himself" at this stage of the game. Ops normal.
