I will take BM's tactics over BT's in your face rhetoric any day. At least BM's "let's make a deal" helped allow me to collect a paycheck for another year.
We had a choice of
1. Give the company what they want at all costs to prevent a layoff
2. Continue to attempt to get the MOU to work
3. Confront the company at every opportunity
A three way may sound like fun but the way it broke out the majority may not have gotten to have a strong voice in the direction the union was going to take. We have changed the rules so that in the future this probably won't happen again.
Now the objective is to do what is legall and contractually allowed to get people back on the property as soon as possible if they want to return.
The company decided the direction they where going to take we had little to do with this decision , we just get to respond to it
