On one hand I have, by joining the AOA, given the negotiating committee approval to negotiate on my behalf. On the other hand when they have done all they can, and I will always be grateful for that, maybe it's for me to decide if what the negotiated agreement is, is good enough. God knows negotiating with the company must be like banging your head against a brick wall while a Rottweiler chews at your nuts.
And on the third hand, having been there before, there's always the minuscule worry that committee members may reject something and use the membership as leverage for their own personal issues with the company. I only add this remote possibility because it's happened before.
