Given latitude by who? 65% of us give no latitude with respect to a concessionary contract. We expect gains in scope, vacation, sick leave and training, not trades for pay rates. When those negotiating on both sides finally figure out it is about 28 sections of the contract, not just a few tables in section 3, we will get somewhere. Until then it's just moving the deck chairs around.
