I guess I just don't see how one could possibly interpret the CBA another way. It's one thing to say, well that section was not quite clear and they always allowed it a certain way. In this case, the CBA was quite clear. Like I said I've been here about as long as you have (2005), and never heard of anyone using that provision so while u may know of those that did, I don't believe it was overwhelmingly done.

If the company reinterprets something then I'd say, that's a grab. But with no leg to stand on ever?
