Quote: Excellent to hear. I actually agree with Purple that the union should come out and make 0% interest loans to guys like you to offset the PD. In fact if that was done and more people followed the letter of the contract the 117 negotiations would already be done.
Here is the issue, and complication. The letter of the contract also allows you to acknowledge 12, 15, or even 18 hours out (assuming that is how far in advance scheduling contacted you)--just as it allows you to acknowledge as little as three hours prior.

If scheduling calls you 15 hours out, and you answer the phone and immediately acknowledge, you are following "the letter of the contract" just as much as if you waited until three hours prior.
