[QUOTE="stray, post: 4022443, member: 57407"] One can speculate on whether everything was on the "up and up". But, the outcome isn't debatable. The offer that was ratified is more lucrative for the members, period. That, is a good thing. I don't agree with any offer being imposed on the members after it met the IBT's rigid criteria for rejection. They certainly discussed imposing our second offer, but found a great amount of opposition at the time and tabled the discussion at the last GEB meeting. Much of the opposition revolved around the regressive offer that was rejected and, how unfair it would be to impose THAT offer. If Western PA had rejected a superior offer to both previous offers, I doubt the opposition would be as great as it previously had been. At the vote Saturday, Ken H and Bill H were asked if the 2nd offer would be imposed if we voted this (3rd) offer down. They responded by saying they couldn't say for sure, but had concerns that it may - no one knows what the GEB might decide next time they met. They clearly told the members that, this was their vote and they can vote yes or no. So, those who showed up to my meetings (I stayed for all of the meetings) were not threatened in any way. Nonsense. The yes vote was a result of the financial gains for both full time and part time employees. [/QUOTE]
