Sounds like the MEC/NC need to develop a new plan and work with management to get increased frequency of negotiating meetings scheduled. Don’t delay, increase the number of meetings now and don’t let the company delay a new contract beyond May. Follow AA’s lead and develop a more aggressive meeting timeline. If management really values us then they’ll work with us to get a new contract.

We are viewed and treated as a necessary evil. You don't hire a plumber, a mechanic, an accountant or a lawyer because you "value" them. You hire them because you need them. You pay more for one when you have no choice. Until management feels they have no other choice, they're going to take their sweet time. The union will have to figure out how to legally apply enough pressure to make them feel that they have no choice. Management will never just "value" us.

Breaking news: they don't.

I have a good buddy there and he’s underwhelmed with what they have seen from Management to date.
