How is management/PBUC supposed to make a deal when the bargaining committee has no credibility when it comes to the committee's ability to sell the deal? This is a serious problem for the AMLU.

The bargaining committee isn't supposed to have control of the union. That memebers should. It's the committes job to get a proposal to the union so they can vote on it. That's what the memebers asked them to do, so they did. I don't see this being a problem for the AMLU. Looks like the problem is for MiLB. What are the umpires losing? A 2,000/month job. Big deal. If you think of it like a business man, the umpires are probably saving money too.
