Company's are always looking to cut costs --- but, the agreed upon contract doesn't say "we can invoke 4A2B to cut costs".
If that was true, why not just reduce the BLGs during months were volumes are historically low and raise them back above BLG when it suits them to do so.
The negotiated/agreed upon contract states a Min BLG --- that's the min BLG --- it doesn't give them unilateral power to change it for other reasons than preventing or delaying a furlough.
