From the MEC proTA statement
"Finally, the Retained Management Rights clause in our current and past contracts' Scope sections has been removed from the entire contract. This clause has been cited by management in various arguments and System Boards."
Several years ago I asked one of our CALAPLA lawyers to explain why we had this in our contract. The answer I was given was that “the court” assumes that the company has this right anyway. I then asked, “If so then why does it need to be in the contract? “ I did not get an answer to that question. Two intersting facts 1) this is gone from this TA and 2) That CALAPA lawyer is still with us.
One of the several problems I have with this contract is the way it is written. I want a CBA that does not need an attorney to interpret it.
IMO The only fact I know for sure is we have spent a lot of money and time for something that is not the best we can get.
I am still voting NO.
