Naturally, the way the company tries it out initially is no guarantee they'll continue with that same methodology, so that's a threat in determining effects.
Disagree. The threat is virtual basing. It costs jobs and potentially QOL. They can have their one month trial period. Then it needs to go. Hopefully that is the message the MEC is sending after their meeting.
There is no doubt that the virtual bases will be great from the company perspective during the test period. They want them in the PWA. Later they can start peeling back layers until it works for them.
I don’t understand the blind faith some have in this when we (or our union) control very little. They want a base in MCO? Open one. BOS? Open one.
