"MEC is still fighting the merger, which most agree would be a good thing for both councils.. . . I know all these are "supposedly" good for the Polaroids, but I think their dual purpose, help Polaroids, hurt Atlas."
One reason the Polar MEC is fighting this merger, is to keep the Polar scope clause intact. Polar's scope clause was directly responsible for 100 or so out of work crewmembers to be restored. Does not Polar's MEC have a responsibility to keep their membership employed (as does the Atlas MEC with theirs)?
With regards to AAWW's threatened "furlough game of musical chairs", many of one or the other group will die. . . . whose MEC soap will get you cleaner?
