We can debate the merits of the contract negotiation back and forth, but there's one thing that would have cost the union zero money this go around, and that was the length of the extension. They decided to extend it into the next presidential term. With the political climate that existed then and now, that decision was monumentally stupid. So stupid the NEB deserve to be removed. If they had any dignity they'd resign, but they're all just corrupt politicians. Just imagine the fight to come and money that will be spent while this union battles the Trump or DeSantis administration.Contract negotiations are extremely expensive. Imagine how mad all the trolls would be if we spent a million dollars on a new contract that was anywhere from worse to not much better.
No dues were spent on going away gifts.
