I actually agree with what most of you are saying. Since we don't care about deadlines anymore why are we picketing? We should have been picketing all the way up till we started the joint contract negotiations. Once we started that we pretty much gave up on our own section 6 negotiations till the joint ones stopped. Once we go back to our own negotiations I could see us picketing again. Right now it just doesn't make any sense to do it. I also think its funny our union didn't run this by the other guys since we are all in this one together for right now. If we were in our own negotiations I would see no reason to get mesaba or colgans approval. But since we are working on a joint contract we should have at least got some input from the others. Oh well. Just doesn't seem that all well thought out.
