Are we to expect a retro pay, or will they show up to the table with JB pay and forget the past?
The company does not know what we will accept. Think about it, we have changed direction too many times. If they knew the MEC would ratify at the MEC level, we could probably get a deal much quicker because that removes the unknown of membership ratification. As far as I know, the MEC is 100% in support of membership ratification.
The professional negotiation advisers Spirit consults with, are likely telling them that we will turn down any contract because of our lack of consensus on ANYTHING over the last three years.
Neither the negotiations updates nor MEC updates have mentioned retro pay. I doubt that it is being considered.
