Problem is, I don't think they could rearrange the list on either side independently, ie an LUS guy junior to me now becomes senior based on this change. But what do I know...
Not to mention it completely screws up class seniority.
Later training dates generally went senior on the LUS side, but junior on the LAA side.
The thing that got me about the email is that the union appears to already have decided that we are "paid incorrectly" as if this is all some kind of mistake.
The JCBA cannot be applied retroactively. Not by one day, not by one minute. Until someone can point to something other than the LUS contract which we were hired under, I am not willing to give an inch on this one.
