Split Duty Periods is another example. I asked one of my reps what was being negotiated regarding the FAR 117. I was told he couldn't discuss the details with me due to non-disclosure agreements (or the like) other than to say it was a packaged list of 3 items the union was asking for. Then WHAM -- here you go, SPSs: enjoy that! What? Where did that come from? Why can't you tell me about this stuff so we can discuss it rather than just drop it on us out of no where????
From the sound of it the only thing that is at risk about the PS is our union trading it away.
