When a military member returns from long term mil leave, he/she has pensionable earnings as if he/she never left.
Yet, upon return, those gone for ltmla during the 2011 signing did not receive that bonus like everyone else. It was written in the 2011 signing to exclude military leave by both company and ALPA. This was illegal yet never corrected when brought to the attention of labor relations and the Union. It is my understanding a group of these folks are taking this to court.
Couldn't the Union look into this for them? If I understand it, the Union is aware of the situation and advised them it was illegal in 2011. I am glad they got it correct this contract signing, but why make them fight it in court?
