I am totally confused why are leaders of 1108 are retreating instead of holding the line in regards to HBAs, it works for NJI so it will work here.
They're not retreating, they're negotiating. Neither side gets everything they want, that's life.
And for those that can't see it yet, HBA as it stands today is not going to survive. So it's either now or later, and the leadership obviously believes that it's better now than later.
I'm sure that will upset those that can' see it, but that's life
