Your implication then and now was that it was voted down and not put on hold.
Neither resolution was on the agenda. They were put forth as "Emergency" resolutions late in the day after the Polar Representative was told there was no more Polar business worth staying for, and left. Typical. Even Prater was blindsided (and offended). As was the majority of the EC.
I'm a little surprised about that considering a number of the Executive Committee requested the last minute resolution from D. Bourne. As to Prater being blind sided, I doubt that considering he new of these requests quite some time ago. Maybe he just wanted to look surprised for some of the collective at hand.
The "Emergency" resolution aimed at derailing Polar Crewmembers legal efforts in defense of their contract was put "on hold" until January... when Polars' legal battles will be finished. Some "Emergency"...guess the EC did not share Mr. Bournes' urgency.
No, the Executive Council just letting the mediator of the arbitrations solve the problem for them. Then join along with it backing up the result. Pretty typical.
