it says minimum...it can be greater than 48/60...right? am i reading into this wrong?...it does not say reduced to 48/60..seems they can furlough a month after they announce it...thoughts?
I think minimum implies the lowest downside of 48, but it wouldn't make sense that you could go somewhere in between or they'd just lower it by 3 hours and furlough. There is no protection in the language if you can stop anywhere between BLG and a min of 48/60.
