Great example of the MEC's one-sided story telling. The JCBA did indeed tighten scope
language. But when management went after our scope language via the RAH loophole regarding holding companies, our own MEC
refused to file a grievance because a single ALPA lawyer proclaimed that the language was not defensible.
It is for this exact reason that we continue to see our scope
language get better, but we continue to outsource more of OUR jobs. Language is one thing, defense is quite another.
