We were hood-winked again
Two thoughts ...
1. Cliffy: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. You sir, are part of the problem!
and ...
2. I agree, we probably missed our opportunity to lock in ULR pay rates when we didn't include them in the LOA. The company seems to have REALLY wanted that LOA! Shame on our negotiating committee for not seeing this problem coming in advance and not using the LOA (that the MEC crammed down our throats btw) to OUR advantage.
