I think these types of assignments should belong to folks at TK and this is a trial balloon and also a way to get around paying PI's overtime. Just about all of the items from the company's opener was manpower negative. Many of the those items in the opener are TK manpower negative. Something stinks about this.
It doesn't seem like the management at TK would make the decision to do this. This idea had to come from Labor Relations in Chicago. I won't be surprised to see a grievance on this and I would personally stay away from applying to something like this until we hear more from the MEC.
