Hopefully, the company will decide to do the right thing and address these issues in the correct venue, and the instructors will befefit greatly from having it in our CBA.
Great point, but incorrect. The company did not negotiate with any instructors and the instructors attempted many, many times to get the Association to address the issues. The response from the 'leadership' was "You're on your own". They flat out refused to help.
