As bored said above, alot of guys come on here and say everyone has to vote after the MEC's vote to approve this (if they do), and thats my worry of being sold out, I'll say it once, and I'll say it again, it's never good to go into a consolidation of labor groups having the best contract, because gains will be minimal...I'de like every person at 9E and 9L to read the XJ contract, as I'm sure some of you have, so you know what you are getting yourself into and consider that as a starting point for negotiations, not an ending...I have been hearing form the MEC leadership that not having XJ integrated is/will cost(ing) 9E management almost 1 million a month in excess cost and if no contract is negotiated and things remain seperate it will continue that way for a very long time. WE NEED TO GET THIS RIGHT...



No you didn't sell out on TA1 but I'm curious how close TA1 was to the current XJ contract? That's a question I've been asking since July 1 and no one seems to have an answer...
