Even though they never had to all along.
if the company truly was wanting to cut costs then they would entertain the ideas the union has presented. I think Jon's emails have been pretty clear where the company's priorities are.
I wish we as a group would stop trying to solve the company's made up problems. The only way they stop threatening is if they get what they want and everyone agrees that is not going to happen. I can appreciate the effort from the group, I'm on ExTO and was hoping that would do the trick but unfortunately we are being played and we should act accordingly from now on out.
