If it comes down to that, I think the better option might be the fatigue call.
We made some good strides in the 2016 contract wrt sleeprooms. But like many parts of our contract, these gains were very Louisville centric. As another poster mentioned, ANC lost its sleeprooms for the duration of COVID and nobody batted an eye. Louisville maintained all of their sleeprooms during the same period. UPS argues that one of the reasons we shouldn't have the same fatigue protections as our passenger carrying brethren is that we can get naps during the duty period. If this isn't possible due to lack of appropriate sleeping facilities, we should be holding their feet to the fire.
