The policies are always written vaguely so it gets through people who don't place emphasis on detail while benefiting the company whenever it pleases them. A good contract leaves as little room for interpretation as possible. Like I've said before, I hope you guys don't vote for a substandard contract with vague, undefined clauses under excuses such as "it's our first contract". I guarantee you contract flaws are by design. Don't fall for it like previous generations have fallen for the falsehoods of the FOM. The FOM exists to pacify you under the facade of being rules. They are smoke and mirrors. They are not binding. Remember 3A.

I would prefer a highly detailed contract where each one of us can individually sue the employer. If you have a grievance process you've already lost because it ends in arbitration, which is not as good as individual lawsuits or class action lawsuits. Don't believe me? Look at where you are now....
