Regarding Gannett's resignation email....


You (JB pilots) could have replaced the CBB with a better, more fair contractual relationship. As Jean said, the CBB can be used against you however they wish. The contract outsources some of the most important workplace rules to it. All the happy go lucky apologists and juicers (e.g. Southerner), think that nothing can happen to you. This is a very immature and ignorant position to take. JB is run by lawyers (literally so now). The vagueness of the contract with its inadequate, elementary school language, loopholes for everything, and self defeating clause nullification statements (e.g. "if possible"), is our fault for voting for a weak contract. People had their own selfish reasons for voting yes (e.g. the perception of immediate better money) or from scaremongering perpetuated by juicers (e.g. we're about to be bought by United). Remember all these failures, and your failures, for the next contract. There is no one to blame but yourselves.
