There was no asking the "junior" guys to bend over on the Passover Pay issue. If there was something in the Contract to stand on, it would have been defended. Unfortunately, there was not. Although the practice seems unfair, it is legal by the Contract. Given that set of facts, the Company was not going to spend money to do what we thought was fair, and an arbitrator would have never found the case in our favor. Bottom line, it would have been money wasted on a lost grievance.
Do I like the practice? No. Blame the Company, not our Association.
