The only thing I'm alarmed about is the fact that some can't see the deliberate bad faith the company is acting with. I don't care who or how many times they told me this would or wouldn't happen. Until it does it's only a threat, we don't respond well to threats. Take your appeasement of these actions elsewhere, we aren't interested.
The company's circumvention is the point. If they have no respect for the spirit and intent of the contract then why should we? I'll say it again, "I told you we would get screwed is not an answer." The fact that we are is all you need to know about what management thinks you and the contract are worth.
And my reps never said that. They explained that 3.B.4. should increase pay rates in 2016 based on the past precedents.
