I don't think you can criticize ACL for not promoting this based on being "normally pro-ALPA". Nor can you criticize him for verbosing us. This is a place for mental master-debaters.

His analysis of this TA is his prerogative. His interest in painting pretty pictures doesn't fit my idea of debating what actually exists in front of us, however. But maybe I'm just TA-fatgued anyway.

I think I'm going to try to write my own analysis of this thing, and let it be my final word on this topic. Thanks for the discussion.

ACL,

Good rundown on what you see as weaknesses. But, do you really think this agreement will last the three years, assuming it passes?

I think this is an extension. We have time. Silence the bell, do no hurry (and take the raise)

Yeah, that and he doesn't agree with you so he's just not as smart as you thought he was. This says more about you than a lot of other things you posted, but there wasn't much left to the imagination.

Sick leave that gives you a margin above the current 14.F.1.a. and 15.B.1.c. language by 100 hours, and gets rid of the 75% pay.

The foundation is solid.
Industry leading rates today, but in the future....yeah... If a politician ("they'll buy that line of bs?!!") could have this crowd for voters he'd think he died and gone to heaven.

If Section 6 ok, say it. Quit this throw it back on the burner "stuff". Ain't gonna happen.

Agreed Ferd

Funny how that runs only one way with you.

Speculation: That the rates in 2015 will be higher than others in 2015 (not today, but in 2015)>>>> SPECULATION

Twos in Ferd. I agree. I've been on the fence...but I agree with your perspective. This is an extension with a carrot. These are not pro-union times in our nation. Silence the bell, hack the clock, and run the checklist.
