I don't see any problem reopening a single section, but maybe I'm missing something. If it's not significantly better, we vote no. No consequence, end of story, it doesn't hold up any other negotiations. Zero reason to accept anything that isn't an improvement, so what harm is it? What we should have done is irrelevant now. Maybe someone can explain why we wouldn't want to do this.

No pressure from a mediator or need to wrap up an entire Sec 6 TA with other sections being held hostage. Fallback is current language - an easy walk away option.

Because Block 1 rep convinced a narrow majority of MEC to not allow NC to discuss anything on retirement other than raising the A fund. How'd that work out? 🤔

There can never, ever be a win/win. We had our chance at "winning". 56% chose another path. Case closed.
