For most of us the UPA or UAL don’t govern our entire lives. This is just what we do for income and everything else is what matters and governs our life decisions. Most of us have a pretty good understanding of what’s in the contract but don’t care about every little detail. I’m not going to dry clean shirts rather than throw them in the wash, expense meals that I seldom eat, etc. It’s just jot worth spending $5 effort to get $2.50 out of the company. The original post just asked a simple question. No need to sound like a bitter old man or even worse the shriveled piece of his anatomy.
