I don't doubt it either.
But seriously, how many "training issues have been reduced" ? 1, 5, 50 ??? Most likely no one has an actual number. There are so many other internal and external factors that could affect the number of training issues we have with new hires in any given year. But none of that supports the companies move.
Believe what you want. But to infer that training issues have been reduced solely due to the splitting of classes is naive and one-sided.
Prior to this contract, positions were assigned by management. Guess what ... some new hires struggled in training, needed extensive additional training, and a few are no longer with the company.
Its not a new problem. At least now they own the problem again by splitting the classes. At the expense of seniority and bidding rights.
