it would seem like what was sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander...
You can exercise your full contractual rights...as long as you don't change how you do it.... The company would have a decent claim at a status quo violation if everyone started refusing to pick up open time or waive duty limits because they have data that shows what we've historically done. They aren't changing the way they exercise their rights because they haven't had to do this before. We can pursue status quo violations against the., but frankly the bar is much lower for them to prevail in their claims against us.
