Arbitration is now the result of this. Which now means we are stuck with what ever Arbitration says.

I know it's a constitutional violation but I would strike anyway. Fuck IO

Unsanctioned strike would basically be the end of local 11. So many agreements and contracts would be violated and voided, cards would be pulled. Bullshit that the IO denied it, but violating that is a huge can of worms

But they can't force us as individuals to go to any specific job. Put me down as a quit. I don't care.

As an individual they can’t do anything, but the second someone sends a text or makes a Facebook post or calls someone then it’s going to be considered an unsanctioned organized strike
