Hi Lee, you're right in that a grievance is not a lawsuit, but the underlying concept is still the same. They do have a grievance against both UCH for the failure to conform to your contractual profit sharing formula, and against CAL ALPA for status quo violations around the profit sharing.
Upon reflecting on this issue I have changed my view on its importance. It is a cop out for the CAL MC to use this as an excuse to sever ties. Professionals get the job done, period.
As I stated in my post above this, I have to question the motives of our MC and his supporters in the MEC. Friday, imho, will demonstrate if we are the cowboys or the Indians based on what direction our MEC decides to jump.
