When I was furloughed paycuts were voted for and the furloughs happened anyway. SnapBack language was in place to get the money back and violated forever. The pay never comes back and the paycuts don’t help anything.
I agree. No pay cuts. I could agree to a MOU reducing average line values, even if it takes us below guarantee. That’s our only hope to preserve jobs if this crap gets prolonged.
On a side note, I was reading in dismay section 23 of the contract:
“The Company will be excused from compliance with the pro-visions of Section 23.A.3 and Section 23.G in the event that a circumstance over which the Company does not have control causes the furlough”
So basically the company can furlough without honoring the 30-day notice and no furlough PAY! A freaking email can be sent out saying “don’t come to work tomorrow” and that would be it. Please tell me I’m reading it wrong.
