Because look who negotiated this POS.
Beyond the contract, there is plenty of evidence of APA screwing its members. "Move the metal" and the more recent email encouraging us to be cool with electronic notifications during the storm (which the company can instantly get declared status quo if they like.). These things keep the membership confused and totally subvert any type of unity.
APA is a mess. They never take anything to arbitration-and why not? Because the contract is such crap. Totally full of loopholes. And that stuff got in there totally on purpose. Can't blame BK for language like "Scheduling's discretion " and "reasonably" or "may." This words never appear in any real contracts. Any first year law student would know better. And to think that some people still believe those are mistakes.
Give me a ballot to de certify. I would. I'd rather keep my dues. A union which stands up for nothing and actively works against some members is worse than none at all.
