I believe a yes vote is a statement that we are satisfied with the status quo. The accepted fare is just another example of the company's intransigent dealings with us. This is another chance for us to demonstrate that we demand a change.
"Past Practice" is that the argument that the union uses when something isn't going our way? Why can't we use it to oppose policy in the same manner?
