There is a passage in the Bible about workers who had agreed to one Dinarius for a day's work. Other workers also agreed to a Dinarius but for only half a day's work. When the accounting came the first lot, having seen the second lot get a Dinarius for half a day's work expected to get more than they had agreed to but were rebuked by the landowner who stuck to the agreement they had made. They went away grumbling but had not been mistreated.

When the original vote went through some agreed to a deal. Others were not satisfied and negotiated a different one. However, out of jealousy, some of the first group now want to go back on their word and in so doing will hold up the payment for everybody. That seems rather self motivated to me. All sections had the chance to negotiate on the same terms. Why be envious of those who were prepared to take a risk and did better? That is not honourable.
