If/When the MEC decides that enough is enough they can call for the strike regardless of the fact that negotiations are happening. The negotiators for us answer to our MEC. Right now the MEC is trusting(and rightfully so) in the negotiators and their ability to bring this to a conclusion.
We are still in a holding pattern and waiting just like everyone but the time is getting shorter. Patience is important.
