The previously mentioned return of lost days off (if dropped below min) I would argue is reason alone. Sitting at min days off and having 2 days worth of computer work doesn't sound like fun.
I really don't like the fear-mongering argument that if we don't take this the company will force worse scenarios on us. I wasn't here in 2010, but from the stories I've heard this sounds familiar.
Don't listen to DP he is just a madman and JL just doesn't get it yet. I wasn't here at the time but they tried that fear tactic with Contract 2010. This LOA is a no-go for numerous reasons that have been elaborated. Think of this as a reality check for the NC, MEC as well as the company.
