I hope once the app is released and the reassignment language is allowed to be used that my fears about it’s abuse were also unfounded.
Reassignment was going to change one way or another. Better to handcuff company when we could with the language. There were so many reassignment disputes it was heading to arbitration and IMO would have been lost. But you can’t just say that before arbitration as a union so it couldn’t be conveyed to the group. Had that happened more than likely the company would have gained the ability to reassign much more liberally than they can now. So I’m taking that off the list of loses and putting that in industry standard column because no way we were keeping the ability for our employer to not reach us at work.
