Again, because it is Section 1, we can't demand anything...and neither can management. What we have now can only be changed by mutual agreement without the duress of a strike threat by us, or a lockout threat by management.

There's probably no need to worry about moving the seating back from 76 or 70 seats. Economic reality will make the whole thing moot...IF WE JUST SAY NO TO ANY FURTHER SCOPE EROSION FOR ANY REASON.
