Denying the antecedent.

82% voted yes. Holding their nose. Resigned it wouldn't get better. Has nothing to do with disagreeing with Poggi. I'm sure many "yes" voters are on his side.

As usual, I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between. I certainly wasn't holding my nose when I voted yes, but I also don't consider it a home run either. I thought it was the optimum outcome of the no vote last year, and that we wouldn't reasonably improve this time from turning it back.

Some giddily voted yes, some voted yes simply for my last reason that they saw little to no upside sending this one back.

To hard claim that either one of those is absolutely the case just shallowly pushing an agenda (to be clear, this isn't aimed at just you, Raging White).

41% giddy + 41% pragmatic = 82% done with the process

Agreed. I meant MANY were resigned. Certainly not ALL. I should have been more precise.

Poggi on 8 November:

"Also, our mandate was to remove the toxins from the previous TA, improve the pay numbers, protect F/O OE provisions and fix sick. Other than the "catastrophic" clause, I thought we attained those goals."

"the NC negotiated a TA, the MEC was involved during the entire process, we used polling data, etc to ensure we were following the will of the membership, and we debated. This is the best deal, this team (Including myself) can bring you."

Poggi after the December MEC Meeting:

"I have a fiduciary responsibility in representing you. My resolve to meet that responsibility was continuously challenged by an administration that on many occasions failed to provide me requested information to base decisions on.”

"We (the LEC reps) were told to use polling data until it didn’t align with the narrative coming from the administration and the Negotiating Committee.”

"I’ll describe John’s leadership style as autocratic. The MEC chairman, by Policy Manual, works for the MEC. I felt that the process leading up to the TA was more of a manipulation to get us where the chairman thought we should go."

That's what Poggi wrote. It is not defensible. It's crazy talk. It's a screed of flip flopping nonsense. This clown gets to make decisions that affect my life?

This makes perfect sense, it's the Poggi flip-flop. Better known as the SLC Two-Step. First step, Poggi hard selling the TA.

"the NC negotiated a TA, the MEC was involved during the entire process, we used polling data, etc to ensure we were following the will of the membership, and we debated. This is the best deal, this team (Including myself) can bring you."

Second step, Poggi reestablishing street creds after the ratification with the chitchat crowd.

"I felt that the process leading up to the TA was more of a manipulation to get us where the chairman thought we should go."

The transparency you mentioned.

I just re-read the campaign letters from Bill and Ryan.

No mention of a block. No mention of a slate or support for each other.

No mention, amidst Bill's bullet points, of a full-time transition coordinator. In fact, he emphasized (in bold print) that he was up-to-speed, and ready to go.

"I am “current” and up to date on all
the issues relative to C2015 negotiations, how we got here, why
we are where we are, and what’s been agreed to in TA2. I’ve been
on the MEC since negotiations preparation began in late 2014.
I’m also familiar from a first person point of view with the improvements
and accomplishments over the past several years as well with
changes that I believe are still necessary.
"

I'm not alleging any sort of sinister action here, but naming another voting member of the MEC (who voted for you) to a position like this, has the aroma of a back room deal. Had it been mentioned in his campaign letter, or his nominating speech to the MEC, then I would concede your point.

Is there any thing wrong with the MEC chairman having a transition officer? Seems every administration has its own stamp and style. The JM admin had a new publication and a change in negotiation transparency. The MD admin had the "special committee" and their own unsigned publications. The LM had the MOU and LOA back door deals that went uncommunicated.

Is this outrage over MEC members runnuing for administrative positions? They will allways have their votes. I suspect this is more about the result.

What makes you think the transition coordinator is for Bill's benefit?

There's a whole bunch of old guard Moakists that have been in the office doing "committee work" for a long long time. They haven't flown a schedule for years.

They're going to need some help with the transition back to flying the line.

I think it was very thoughtful of Bill.
