Email your reps and let them know what you think. It will take you 2 minutes. Tell them to let the membership decide!!

 

IOW, tell them to vote yes on it? That's what you really meant. Which is fine.

 

Is “letting membership decide” even an option with age discrimination laws?

 

The MEC should vote it down and fix it before sending it to Membership. Too many concessions.

 

Oops. Thought you meant congressional reps and age 67. Disregard.

 

you talking about the same MEC that voted a month ago to unanimously pass the AIP that became the TA? If they do then hopefully every flip/flop yes/no rep will be booted. This needs to go to Member Ratification… that ship sailed

 

The push to rush through this part of the process by some makes me suspicious. It's a bad look. Bad vibe.

They voted on bullet points. Broad ideas. Without the benefit of final language. A vote for an AIP and a vote for a TA are not required to be the same. Otherwise, why vote again? I know many want to hurry up and get this over with but this part of the process is necessary. Governed by the policy manual. The language has to be vetted and the reps just got the final language on the same day we did.

I'm sure this will get past the MEC and will end up going to ratification. Everyone will have their chance to vote. But it's way too early to threaten a recall if a rep reads the final language and sees too many easter eggs. I know many want to get their hands on their retro check but relax and let this play out. We've had the language for less than a week. Chill.

 

No, I don't think I will.

 

Did that two days ago.

 

Exactly. If the MEC rejects the TA, the membership will implode, heads will roll, and we won’t see another TA for a couple years.
