Even the negotiating committee video fully admitted that givebacks in the scope section were traded for improvements in other sections. Why would you claim they just, "added a few small scope improvements?" Why would you write absolutely blatant spin, that nobody would buy, even those promoting the contract? I am very curious as to your motivation.
Scope is one of those issues that people don't pay too much attention to until it is under attack. And then, it's the most important issue. Anyone who wants to continue their career at FedEx cares about that. People thought they found their forever job, and now they're thinking about having to apply elsewhere, furloughs, lack of progression, long term reduced schedules, and this TA makes it easier for the company to do that. Why would anyone promote this?
