In many ways, mature CBA's such as the agreement between the IPA and UPS are more restrictive than 117, and its overall affect on our operation will not be as large as the true non-skeds. On a macro level the more important point is to not allow the industry (read company) to exclude one particular piece of a class and craft. If we let this precedent to set what will be next?

The list goes on and on.

I hope this accident shines the light down the darkest of alleyways to find the lurking industry lobbyists and that my friends and coworkers did not die in vain.
