From the transcript
We do not feel one side should be able to force anything on the other and call it an agreement. To prevent yet another adjustment of the budget, wait until membership has voted upon the wages. If it passes, continue with the reading. If it does not, then the PMEA and admin negotiation teams, along with the direction of the assembly, need to discuss our next steps. Implementing fair and equitable wages is critical now.
