[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 3703596, member: 37112"] In my experience, members selected to negotiating committees have shown leadership in the field and in most cases have been [B]elected[/B] by their peers to represent. Maybe you need to be more involved? Best return on investment you make. It would be the dullest video ever presented especially early on. But maybe you're on to something as then the members would see how ridiculous proposals are from UPS. Anyway a typical mtg consists of UPS reading a Union proposal and responding, "we're not interested in that". Then the Union will read a Co proposal and say the same. Then a four hour caucus takes place and the action is repeated on another proposal. The IBT has released more info on these proceedings than any contract in the last forty years. But it's not the info you want to hear. So after admitting no knowledge of the process, you now feel empowered to speak for the "vast majority" and criticize the race, age, attire and behavior of the[B] elected[/B] representatives who have been positioned on those committees by the rank and file? That's some hubris. Most reps/PO's on the committees spend hours each day making and returning calls as their representational duties don't stop during negotiations. Posturing and political gossip are BC's realm, not negotiating committees. Since when is the membership not allowed to vote on the NMA? [/QUOTE]
