Every time there's a fight, we just give more ground. It's a damn good thing the company decided on their own to do the payroll stuff by hand. That was all supposed to be over and done with in Sept. No dice on that, and no pressure from the union side (any of the three) to make it happen. The company gives a "software issue" excuse, and I guess that's good enough for anything that involves a computer.
In this case do you have any reason to believe or been given any evidence to suggest it's not a software issue? I am pretty sure the union guys know a hell of a lot more about what is happening than you do. What is the remedy you suggest if the union grieves this issue? Relax. This award is on a scale much larger than they have ever seen. That said it would be nice to see something from the union.
