The only thing this nutless union is good for is putting a positive spin on everything.
I’m happy that the company is no longer allowed to get away with it, but I agree that it’s hardly a huge win.
This whole thing shows me that A. The company doesn’t give a flying **** about the contract. B. The company will continue to willfully violate the contract because it’ll take at least two years for the grievance process to take place and will result in no monetary penalties.
Just something to keep in mind for future TA’s. Without ironclad language in all the sections we’ve left ambiguous it will be a no vote from me. The company can’t be trusted to interpret the contract in a fair way so we must bargain for a TA with clear definitions and clear punishments for violations.
