Stand by for CX plan A: intimidation and division. Hoo hum!
While CC is marginally effective and TB is where we get our negotiating power. It should come as no surprise the company wants to reduce the threat. The NC made clear the company's requirement was removing the TB. Hence section 7.1.
The company wants an agreement but I do not expect them to be in a hurry. They will devise a program whose objective will be to reduce the effectiveness of the TB. It will be expensive and of limited effectiveness. But over time the impact of our TB will be reduced and accordingly our negotiating position will be reduced.
