It makes no sense that this is the thought process behind the agreement. It only makes sense that the company has the choice of our normal 68/85 BLG or 40/60 to prevent a furlough with nothing in between; otherwise we have no real pay Guarantee at all which is crazy. What union would agree to that?
Venting as well!!
Here's the rub.... Our current Min Bid Period Guarantee is 68/85. We have for the most part always had higher BLG's. The 68/85 was just that, a MINIMUM Guarantee. There is nothing that says they can't lower the GUARANTEE to 48/65 and build the lines higher.....
