Oh sure, I was just wondering about contractual items specific to the hiring situation. The other side is always going to want those two items. Let me be clear:

1. I am NOT interested in spending more time at work; the harder I work, the sooner I die. The ALV is fine where it is.

2. Vacation still isn't actually vacation. A vacation day is still worth less than a working day, and I hate watching my x-days get prorated. "Vacation" should mean exactly that, paid time off without penalty.
