I agree with monetary damages for every contract violation EXCEPT scope. Scope cannot be traded for money because scope is the only way we have relevance. Jobs are our treasure and the only reason we are paid for a career is if our scope allows us those jobs. We might get a short term pay bump from being paid for the scope sale-du-juor, but long term we lose everything. EVERYTHING.

I agree scope is the only way we have relevance. It defines our jobs. We need to make it painful to the company to violate scope so they don't do it again. I think most, if not all guys get that. The question is: If money is not the solution then what is? What is a better avenue to pursue for scope violations? This is assuming we get the company to come into compliance with scope and not negotiate it away.
