Management loves playing on that argument. It’s exactly what won them batch size elimination for free. Stir up emotions over “abrogated seniority” among a vocal minority, encourage them to pressure the weaker members of the MEC, and voila! Major concessions at no cost to the company. The best part is, the concessions didn’t even solve the abrogated seniority issue.
I’m not against the negotiating committee talking about it later on in section 6, but only after its value has been fully maximized by automated enforcement. Even then, the quid will need to be enormous given the cost of triple pay coverage to the company.
