I just got my bonus and don't know if I need to bring it to anyone's attention.

Thoughts?
yes, this is one of the SEVERAL grievances that are about to be handled very soon with an arbitrator decision.. cash your bonus man its yours, they cant take it back because contractually that is what you were told when you were hired. what will happen is that the company can be fined by the union or "exchange" this violation to get something we want in return.. Scope, bonuses, prefbid, vacation slides, all of this is coming to a head in the next couple of weeks,,,, i think the company is in for a big suprise.
