The summary of the contract is confusing. It appears to say greater not lesser of the two. That is not how it has been implemented. From a logical thought process, completely devoid of Envoy salesmanship, lesser makes sense as something realistic to be implemented.
Some people are letting their emotions or desires get the best of them, without thinking this through.
Or maybe some people refrain from publicly posting opinion adverse to the grievance filed in order to not potentially weaken our position during negotiations and/or a potential future arbitration. People need to quit negotiating in public.
