Best idea brought up, after the fact, by certain people here at ASA was to have the Signing bonus' split up between the workforce that had been there working under the contract, since the time it became amendable. To use seniority alone did not seem fair and allowed certain people at the upper echelon to get a payday, and at the lower end people got money who just signed on. To be fair in such a situation, it would be interesting to see a MEC apply this, but I doubt we'll ever see such a thing.
