BTW I know what the contract says just saying what was told to me.
I understand the attorneys' perspective. They don't need any extra work defending me from The Company should they decide I should be disciplined for doing something they think is wrong. That's one reason I emphasized you should never lie about what you know, because they know you know and can easily prove it.
And yet, I am the one who must live under the CBA and abide by all its rules and enjoy only the quality of life that it will afford. Knowing the CBA, and knowing exactly what is allowed and what is not is to my advantage. The Company will certainly take advantage of every feature that favors them; I don't feel the least bit guilty for using any part of it that favors me. It affects my life, but it does not affect the attorney. He has his own CBA.
