We didn't ask for immediate pay raises. We asked for pay raises is the JCBA wasn't completed by a certain date. The grievance was used a the 'cover' for giving you PS. The arbitrator already ruled that it shouldn't have been done. Telling the truth isn't rude. It seems rude when the other person doesn't want to understand the facts. Why are you so defensive about how the PS/grievance deal went down? An arbitrator already said is was a bad deal that shouldn't have been made - he was very clear. You get to keep your money. Why are you so personally wrapped up in this?
