Unfortunately, the FPA did not go forward with it -this established past practice that we the union are aware of and for whatever reason did not go forward with a grievance in 1999 thus, by allowing this to happen the issue is "dead".
Unfortunately, for the current CBA this subject was on the agenda but, it never saw the light of day. This has been added to the 2010 contract opener folder.
I'm disappointed too.
Established practice in and not grieved in 1999? From what I've read here...And, I know it must be accurate, if I read it here...is that people were still getting the actual fare until FOX came around.
Assuming that's true, it would seem if we really wanted to address this...The union would put out a formal request to all crewmembers asking for proof of this past practice.
The only place I've seen anyone ask for proof, is on APC.
How many of you guys,
yourself, have proof that you got the actual fare until FOX? I, for one, never tried.
