My point is that a lot of the language in the contract is written in a lawyer-like language that makes it hard to understand, and even if you think you understand it, you are still probably wrong because the company will see it their way. The reason I bring this up is because I have a grievance that has been attached to others and we are going to System Board regarding deviation expenses and using your travel bank. You look at that section and the language is black and white. You look in the M&I - black and white. However, because the company doesn't want to pay out of your travel bank - expenses denied, grievance lost due to no contract violation, etc.

In summary: it is our contract now, enforce it by filing grievances and we'll work toward the next contract.
