[QUOTE="Buffet Master, post: 5629475, member: 86736"] Does the fact O'Brien slapped that dictum down mean that whatever the company presents today we will absolutely see to vote on? Or could leadership retract and continue to bargain? The reason I ask is I'm really wondering if the company outmaneuvered SO'B on this. A lot of us have heard that our supplements went well. We saw that in the National on the non economics, a lot of things that were wanted were gained. So seemingly a lot of positives. Then this week hits, we get union leadership yelling bull*:censored:, walking out. 2 days later same thing. We see leaked documents showing that the company proposal on the economic side is downright shameful, insulting and frankly, kind of why the hell would they even push that out there. So that leads to SO'B dictating we want a last best and final Friday(today). This of course fires up the guys who want to be fired up. It scares the guys that were already scared. And in any issue, you're end caps are your loudest. Guys yelling Strike Strike Strike and those yelling The Sky Is Falling. Meanwhile the silent majority sits watching nervously. My point? What if the company walks in and slaps down an extremely mediocre proposal today? Let's say maybe they adjust progression to percentages that raises the dollar amounts. They give part timers a decent bump. Maybe get rid of split classification in package. Benefits and pension stay the same. Maybe clean up language a bit on 6th punch and PVDs. And, offer something like a buck a year raise over the contract. I know the majority on here and the diehard union types we all know would be like, :censored: that, it's a no vote. But what about the average guys and gals? I think that it would look good to them. The company wouldn't be giving up that much dollar wise, certainly not anywhere near what the we need at least $50-60/hr crowd has been clamoring for. Seems a realistic scenario that could play out to me. Should be an interesting day. [/QUOTE]
