Thank you for your post and support.
Not all of us have an inferiority complex and we welcome suggestions from the outside.
This T/A will only pass due to FEAR.
The NC is beaten up, exhausted and sued, they do not want to go back for more. They did what they could.
I thank them, understand and sympathize.
However it is not the mediator nor the NC that will be motivated to return, it will be management.
The scheduling concessions are too tempting and will otherwise cost them cancellations this summer.
Our vote will show who we are as a group, and how we think of this job.
These are my 3rd negotiations and I'm shocked at the level of fear...and lack of fighting spirit of some.
Very disparaging to admit it.
