Something like this will continue to ramp up the pressure a little at a time every month on the company to come to the table and strike a deal vs dragging it out for years. At the very least we will not fall so far behind our peers in the meantime.
Agreed! We seem to be having a very difficult time with some "sprinkle" level type topics such as where trips need to start and end, hotel quality and standards, mandatory overtime on days off, and with the comm turning to expectation management. I don't hold much hope on a topic like the above being taken on.
