[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3663692, member: 63706"] No you never addressed my concerns. You addressed your strawman version of my concerns, maybe? You tried to discredit me, telling me I'm clueless, and I need to read what's available. I countered every supposed argument you brought to bear, and your main answer to my concerns were to bring them up at my local meeting. I already planned to do that, so you added nothing to the conversation. As for the $40/hr, if I made that at the beginning of the contract, that might possibly wow me. But by the end, it might just beat inflation, it might be a little higher, or a little lower. It's certainly nothing to do cartwheels over. I said two or three times that I would be happy with the compensation as agreed and even less. It's just not enough to make me happy about the rest of the contract. I want to know why anyone thinks we should vote yes on the master agreement as it is right now. I have already, and repeatedly conceded that there are some issues that aren't terrible. They are mostly neutral, and not enough to override the bad parts. So, what am I missing? What is the grand design that I don't understand? What is the logic behind the givebacks and concessions that I am unaware of that would make me change my tune on the master as it is? No one has offered any real answers to these simple questions.
