I think... yes, to the thread title: The continued 'divide and conquer' tactics at dal are still alive and well. And working.
Hey, screw safety? Let's have written into a union pwa, a competition to see who can use the least amount of SL. The prize, a single day of vacation (paid at half the value of any decent pwa). Did anyone call 60min.s, the Nightly Show, you can't make this stuff up.
If it's TA'ed, we'll hear them say," I only use my off days for getting sick and picking up green slips. What's not to like about this pwa?"
