I suggest we focus less on compensation for the first day of a sick call, for example, and focus more on the long term preservation of our class and craft. We are predictable. Therefore; we remain vulnerable in contract negotiations. There is a price to be paid, when the group lacks the understanding, of long term thinking and goals. A group likely to be lead to the slaughter. Unfortunately, I have not seen any evidence to date, that leads me to believe we will change course as a collective group. Bump in pay? you got it. Full compensation for first day of sick call? you got it. Concessions in scope protection, part time ratio and health coverage? you got that too. Fertile ground for a repeat of what happened at UA. The enemy is ourselves. This JCBA represents an opportunity to change the tide. I suggest we take it. Many important Articles remain on the table. For the sake of many of my co workers and members, who have many more years to work, I hope we start thinking long term.
