You two and your zingers/

 

I wish you two would just get a room down at the Holiday Inn and work out this problem behind closed doors.

 

I think you're selling us short.

 

I have never said, nor do I think you are not a good union member. We just don't agree on some things, which isn't a big deal. I don't think you have an ulterior motive, but sometimes it seems like when you disagree with someone you throw out things that are like red meat around here like 4.a.2b, FDA, and mistrust of our representatives due to previous transgressions even when they don't really fit the current argument. That's why I threw in that Family Guy joke from an episode when Lois just says '9/11' a bunch of times in a debate to win an election.

As for 4.a.2.b, clearly that is something that needs to and will be addressed in the next contract. It's clear from the membership side and our leadership has made it clear that it will be addressed as well in their communications. Do I think it's a good thing to talk about potential solutions to it right now? Probably not, but in far greater part because of the fact that we are still in 4.a.2.b with an active grievance playing out then because of the effect it would have on the NC's job.

That was my best guess based on previous experience, honestly I'd like to know what guys like TonyC and Albie who have been on both sides think about that question.

 

So when talking about contract improvemnets (what is this thread about again) one should not talk about 4A2b, FDA LOA, or ALPA. Got it. Is it OK to talk about contract 2006 or is it to much "red meat". Maybe we should just talk about the baseball when agreeing to disagree about contract 2010.

 

Ohh, Fredo, Fredo, Fredo....
