I am going to guess you were on property for "a contract is a contract." If the language isn't specific and clear in the TA, that in and of itself is reason enough for a no. In various scenarios, I easily see "draconian" next to concessions.
Sick isn't a giveback, it is in effect sacrificing contract-bound employees (us) on the alter of at-will.
Why do we pay dues? Do we have a union?
Also good points and nobody is going to argue with you (ok I'm not) that language needs to be ironclad.
Please keep engaged and hopefully we can get contract language solidified as well.
I'm not a lawyer or contract admin expert, I'm forwarding for action and response.
The experts on all this will be at the road shows.
Thanks for the response.
