Why don't you guys just give it up? If the union membership is so upset with the Polar MEC you wouldn't know it by the postings on our web site. I am beginning to believe the vitriol coming from the Atlas side is in response to the unfavorable rulings they have endured and the fact that Astar and Polar MEC's may (note I wrote "may") merge into one group. Just sit back shut up and let this whole thing work itself out without pontificating on this web site. I am for closing this thread down. It serves no purpose and has gotten away from the intent of the first post.
