A huge backlog of grievances that will never go anywhere is nothing to brag about, but why don't we have occasional disagreements? If we don't view a change to the status quo on pay calculations as a reason to disagree, then when will we react?
What is the change in how our time is being computed? I have read all the company bulletins on this and have seen nothing that changes how block times are calculated. In fact nothing has changed since as far back as 1972 if not far earlier. I don't know how the union could grieve something that has not changed.
