We've all hashed this before - but I'm willing one more time. It is my opinion that making that statement accomplishes nothing. Just look at APA. They very clearly stated their goals (which is to bring wages to inflation adjusted parity with 1985(?); what's not "fair" about that) for FOUR years, and what have they accomplished? Zilch. Zip. Nada.
Words mean nothing - unless they are backed up with action. I'd rather an MEC speak softly and accomplish something, rather than beat their chests loudly, shouting "RESTORATION" from the top of every roof top - for FOUR years - and yet accomplish nothing.... at least up until now.
But that's just my opinion.
