If, what they present to us is that bad, I suggest that they are doing a bad job and should be replaced. The same might be said for the MEC, especially the 10 guys who voted to present this TA to the troops.

JJ. I disagree with this assessment. The negotiating committee negotiates the best deal they can in the current economic/political climate. The memberships' actions provide the leverage(or not). I contend that a no vote provides leverage for the next round of negotiations.
