If I was stuck until 1159 tonight then I might pursue this more. I was more curious than anything. Seems like there's no real clear answer... But logic says it doesn't make any sense that some guy who "forgot to proffer so he gets RAP1" but the guy who's above him and DID proffer, doesn't get what he wants.
Please at least file a fact sheet with union. You don't even have to request any compensation although you would likely get something. The fact is that this situation is the single biggest contract violation CS continues to abuse. You didn't get burned this time but you may get it next time.
Also, I almost always push for a RAP 2 on my last day. The last turn gets back at 9ish. A RAP 1 is contractually available until 7 pm and legal until 8 plus the extension. Plus you avoid the likelyhood of doing the S1 standby shift.
