This reminds me of the JCBA negotiations. The reason we don’t have ACD in the first place is because the union reached wayyyy too far after they almost had a deal with the company. Glass/Parker stopped negotiating and said take it or leave it.
We were bound by the MOU which called for cost neutral arbitration and then at the last minute the union said we want DL Profit sharing, 321s in group 3, a Long rate rig, and other things. Dougie and the boys laughed.
