Wrong,
US filed bankruptcy in August of 2002, the very same day US filed chapter 11 they handed all unions a final offer.
So explain how it was voted on before US filed bankruptcy in August of 2002 when the very same day the company gave the Negotiating Committee the offer for the membership to vote on?
Informational meetings were held with the IAM, Sharon Levine and Tom Roth, then we voted.
So if we voted one week later, 2002 and US filed bankruptcy in August 22, 2002, how did we vote before US filed chapter 11 and how did we vote on something that was not even given to the IAM Negotiating Committee or the membership?
Once again your ignorance is at a very high level.
The first vote was in August 29, 2002 and it was voted down, we revoted in Septmember and it passed. Then in January of 2003 negotiations took place for further concessions and they were ratified in February.
Once again, don't let the facts get in your way.
Better go to the Dr and get checked out since you remember things that did not happen.
Let me educate you once again:
