It seems that working out deals with CS, has become the norm.
Reserve or open time assignment, leaves too much "choice" to supervisors to interpret rules in their favor.
The language needs to be explicit.

The passing of this LOA depends largely on inconvenience.
As a lifetime commuter, I fully understand that.
This possible inconvenience however, does not weigh over issues such as, staffing, compensation, schedule.

The company is not "sharing the wealth", which may be an indication of what's to come in the summer.

Let's take this opportunity to show our unity, and send a clear message that we vote on overall membership benefits, not short term personal gain.

At minimum, a counteroffer for bidding for those DL days, may be a start.
Those are work days and should be bid for.

PS: Not advocating that this improvement alone would be enough to pass.
