no matter how great the floor show or how funny the jokes....it's still a NO vote!
everybody needs to copy skypine's thread starter, the MEC's Minority Report, staple them to the LOA and hand it out to anyone who hasn't educated themselves on this issue.
30 day STVs...then why does the LOA state:
STV awards shall have a duration between one and three bid periods.
If the Company's intent is to STV for 30 days (or one bid period), then in my opinion the LOA should say STV awards shall have a duration of one bid period.
How many times have you called the Union with this question:
Can they do that to me?
And received this answer:
That's what it says in the contract. Sorry!
I'm all for good intentions, think they're great between neighbors and friends. But the business world operates on a different level and part of that level deals with contracts. The power of the handshake deal and the "I'm as good as my word" business deals have given way to the pure black and white of the printed page.
While our MEC and others truly believe STV will only last "30 days" and have every intention of scheduling STV's for 30 days. Remember this....
"That's what it says in the contract"
