If you say NO ONE should have not expected us to demand or get RJ scope what is the issue? We got it, oh but they just gave it to us. So after we got it should we have given it back? If the company would have waited till the end and fought us on it would that be better?

Heck to me it makes the company look dumb. Depends on how you want to play it. I would have held the “worthless” thing till the end and made the union fight to get it giving it more value in their mind, while the company doesn’t actually care.

Now I know the argument is going to be well “it showed good faith” and they used that to show they were negotiating when they really weren’t and it kept us passive and the union used scope to sell the CBA and on and on. Probably really strong arguments there.

So this just goes round and round. In the end we have scope and that’s good but we have work to do on other sections as does every CBA out there.( ours might require more)
