According to a memo out today, the company will no longer pay up- at the demand of the union. I'm screwed for November since I bid low, based on the new practice. Wonder how many others are in the same boat. What a stupid thing to do. They should have waited at least until December so everyone- (other than union insiders) would know how to bid.
Yes....these are the mental midgets that are running our union.
They give you information on what to do, then suddenly insist that their advise makes you lose money (against the company's will).
The company wants to pay you more, but the union won't let them.
Now, you can work several hours for free to get above guarantee.
Genius.
(remember when they took away our ability to trip trade to prove a point??)
