I have to agree with "Beaver Driver". I have confidence in our Bourne and our MEC in general. If the Management/Union relationship works, and if "cozy" can lead to
"letters-of-agreement", then COZY-UP!. Sure, they are arch-enemies, and both are working toward opposite extremes, "
Lower crew costs versus higher compensation". That said, if the two can hammer out a mutually beneficial agreement, so be it. When it
cost the company, I know, and we all know, COZY ain't gonna do ****. That's when we get militant, why before?.
I also know I'm gonna get my arse chewed here soon enough, about grievances, management's lies, ect. Probably all true. The time to fix those is during contract negotiating. It ain't gonna get fixed sooner.
