Discuss all you want, but the only conversation that actually matters is between the company and our union reps. Sport debating can be fun, but at the end of the day we have no input until there is something to vote on.

In response to your last statement, all of our ideas are in one place. File a PDR and give meaningful recommendations, concerns, or expectations.
