[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5648906, member: 70932"] I'll type this very slowly so that you understand. A tentative agreement is an agreement, handshake agreement, that both the Union and Company have agreed to. This means that the Union is satisfied with this agreement and will recommend a yes vote to the members. OK, here we go....Pay attention. Why the hell would the Union then strike before the ratification vote? The Union will only strike if there is an impasse, no tentative agreement before the expiration of the current agreement, or when the Company gives a last, best, final offer. This LBFO is the last offer from the Company that the Union did not agree with and then we can strike at the expiration of the current agreement because this LBFO was not agreed to. But, that hasn't happened yet. The Company has not given a LBFO. They can still come to an agreement before Aug 1st, or we strike if there is no handshake agreement because the current agreement will expire. Any questions? [/QUOTE]
