During the merger we exchanged the hours for DPMA premiums...oh boy, and top off.
This just looks like a regurgitated argument.
NWA folks with big sick leave banks got screwed. Period. Corporate Bean Counting and abuse of employees at its finest. Then offering 100 hrs per year unverified... and not expecting it to be used...? That was seriously stupid. Now if they want to fix it they pay a premium that we can verify. Or they can live with it. JMO, OFG
