Because we have happy campers picking up open time at $30/hr override for the open time trips. (CAs) We have FOs that need to pick up open time because after so many years of 36.62 hours with no cancellation pay is not putting food on the table.
Management knows this and they are giving us few dollars here and there.. We have people leaving after two three years here in the property with no upgrade in sight.
Our management is spending **** load of money on Bobs and fancy employee parties and we have the reflection of the general population who is showing up at these events.
Why would they give us a new contract.
