A few thoughts

1.) What is driving the company to suddenly want this done? That seems like an important question. Someone had mentioned it being a requirement to secure a loan. But loans are not part of the companies game plan. Merger? Sale?

2.) Haven't seen the proposal, but could we do better in binding arbitration? Does the company oppose binding arbitration.

3.) Is there a signing bonus? Can sections be opened up prior to the expirarion?

4.) Single days off should have an enormous price tag.

Some are looking at this contract based on whether it would be a good first contract. I'm looking at it to see if will be staying or going.
