Some of my friends are like "shut this place down!" while others are like "no way in hotel-echo-lima-lima!" By golly, we better be asking for MUCH more than a rumored 10% raise if we're gonna walk...
I think we all should be armed with facts rather than go into a strike vote without knowing what our vote is capable of...
If guys who are armed with facts are hesitant, it is because their cost/ opportunity ratio is too high and not work a "YES".
That is exactly why the MEC will not publish anything factual. Hence the "Prepare", one section at a time... They act as if we are all children below them.
