I hope round 2 is still a failure and round 3 restores the 50 hr SRL.
my point was that if enough people hold out the company will sweeten the pot even further.
If they don’t sweeten the pot then they will b paying me 73 hours v.s. 50 hours
either way I’ll be home with thousands on reserve.
Thanks... good perspective.

I might be wrong, but I don't believe the company violated the contract... therefore no "concession" was made. I have seen other posts where the poster railed on the company for their offering. I realize they have to offer what they think will work. That's how it is done. I also keep in mind Dubinsky's quote about the golden goose.

I do agree with you that the membership is not "approving" and we will wait for a better offer... or stick to bidding (reserve or lines) as it is. No argument there.
