Sorry Charlie,
You may think you won something here or that Silver will somehow impose the Nic but you are no closer than you ever were. Even if you are correct and a vote would pass, you wouldn't see it for years and years and years. By then, so many will have upgraded that you will have nowhere to go. You may think you won some victory but what your limited mind cannot see is that the greatest way to unify a people is to have an attack on your own soil. Nicalou was an attack, Wake was an attack, and Kasher was THE attack.
The anger that resulted in tossing ALPA is nothing in comparison to what is happening right now. So go ahead and gloat. You will be your own worst enemy. The resultant escalated hatred towards you and the company will prevent any future merger as there isn't a management company out there that would come within light years of dealing with this polarized group. In the end, if DUI Doug wants a merger he will have to either sell you off or convince a partner that there won't be a meltdown.
I also wonder how you think a vote is even in the making? News flash, Einstein; you can't vote without a complete contract and they are years and years from having one. Even then what makes you think that the NAC would even send it out to vote with their view of the Nic and the fact that the head of the NAC would be one of the ones hardest hit? Even then, should Dougweiser even make an offer that comes close to acceptable, it would then have to pass the BPR just to go to vote. With the current stance on DOH and no alteration in the bylaws, and their determination of an industry standard contract, that is not likely. On top of it all, should the Nic be forced into consideration, you can expect a complete reversal of the NAC and how and what they negotiate for. By the time it ever made it to vote, those that think the Nic would give them the windfall they believe they deserve will be sadly disappointed that they waited so long for so little.
But hang in there and keep those donations coming. Since I think it is likely that we will be back to the Ninth again and You will be back to the SCOTUS, everyone is going to need funds, so please keep those donations coming and keep your union dues paid up. We need them to continue the ongoing fight against you. You are quick to remind us how much more you make. Good for you as you will need them to support two competing attorneys.
In addition, regardless of what you may believe, most here continue to understand the meaning of a fight to the death. There will be no capitulation. One of us will become a casualty of war and it is pretty hard to overcome the majority. My bet will remain on the East.
You think the fight is over. I see it as just beginning and it just got a big reinforcement. Get ready. Once the shock of Kasher is over, this group will pick up the fight with a vigor you have yet to witness.
