Im sure he meant he dropped and swapped out everything to get the exact line he wanted with the days off he wanted. I do that same move and he is right, its great.
You are making stuff up when you claim that "management brings posts like this to negotiations." Management will always try and low ball, regardless of what you perceive to be the standing views of the forums.
Stop being miserable..dont worry, Section 6 will be right around the corner and you can get back on the high horse of Scope and all things "necessary"
I’m not miserable I like working here but we need to adjust our way of thinking. I’d love to know what qol provisions we took instead of an extra buck. All I see is concessions and many of the same work rules we already had. You think the legacy unions don’t value qol? Yet, they seem to get the money too. I love the argument that people are coming and staying for qol. What exactly is it that we have that others don’t? The grid and that’s it. It’s a big one and had to be arbitrated to protect. It’s it though. We gave back just about everything else. With the ability to waive down the 4 days is useless to most you end up sacrificing most of your schedule if you don’t waive.
Is it the commutability
Is it the required trip mix
Is it the high min day off
Is it being able to pick your rap even if you’re the number one rsv bidder
Is it the calendar day average
It must be the 10hr 3 days
Or maybe it’s the hotel language that keeps us in only 4 or 5 star hotels even if it’s a short overnight with “walk language”. If it’s not up to par.
Maybe it’s actually having hotels and transportation booked.
Yeah we are killing it in the qol department.
There is a difference between being happy and having ones head in the sand. I’m happy but my eyes are open and know what we are worth.
