the NEB took a position that would only serve as a means to screw pat. pat did what he felt was necessary. pat ran and won on the platform that he was not john carr, and that he would do whatever it took to get a ratifiable agreement before the membership. this leaked agreement, right or wrong, is not ratifiable without abolition of the b scale. the same law that requires our impasses to go to congress guarantees our right to negotiate salary. i'll stay dress code compliant, regardless of what is rightfully or wrongfully released to the membership, until the pay is fixed.
