Before you tell me about the timeline for implementation, I don’t really care because in the meantime it is status quo (IA shenanigans) PLUS no sick lookback and verification.
Easy buttons the old ways vs the new way. They’re both easy buttons. The new way is better for us.
This MOU conflates sick and coverage to say we got sick as a "get" for coverage issues is disingenuous. They did this to solve two separate (multiple) grievance issues. They were completely independant until this MOU combined them to show a "gain." The horse is dead but next summer I reserve the right to revive it and say I told you so when phones are blowing up and people are sick of answering the calls for trips they will never hold.
