1. No communication from the union that they were going to seek a last minute addendum to the LOA until the day the voting opens. All we were told is that they would pass on our concerns to management. I've been part of a union that didn't communicate effectively before... hint: it's not good.

2. 4 pages to "clarify" something they should have never screwed up in the first place. That, and the "clarification" is just going to lead to more confusion. It would have been easier just to give the reserves an extra day off each month (12) and not mess with this whole 18 day block that you can now modify after the bid award. Besides... where does it say that scheduling can't deny the days that you might want off as a reserve?

3. Still concessionary... plus the whole thing is pretty much a mess.

4. I have made comments and asked questions on the union board only to either be misled by those "in the know" or flat out not have questions answered at all. Sorry, but the union forum requires regular participation by all parties (including the ExCo) and until that happens, it will be a very ineffective place to answer questions or voice concerns.
