Sounds like a genius way to push an already overworked and underappreciated group into 3 days of illness…. And rack up some awesome wrongful termination lawsuits.
Maybe. In some cases RLA (federal) supersedes state/local labor laws, so if the CBA allows it, it might be kosher. Kind of like I'm sure DEN is cool with you toking up on lunch break but FAA/DOT will shred all your certs in a heartbeat.
