Interesting to say the least.
This union guy doesn't think we will make it to the amendable date without some significant contract modifications. The incoming MEC administration has been very serious about going into "listening mode"
He thinks early talks are a virtual certainty. The big question according to this guy is whether management will seek to move the amendable date in these early talks. .
Wow, I like your union contacts better than mine - Reps I know say it's been an information blackout since Moak was elected to National and the election of his hand picked successor, with no discussion with them of the above.
Don't get me wrong - I hope what you are saying is true - it just is completely different from information coming from sources who
should know what is going on. I remain optimistic and agree we should go after low hanging fruit while it's still hanging.
I am a little dismayed that the control of information out of the MEC seems to be following the established Moak lines of demarcation with there being the elected Reps outside the inner circle, and certain MEC insiders whispering what the direction the MEC is taking.
