The value of the contract undeniably is most important. But as I stated earlier, the payrate starts now, the rest will be implemented over time. WHO KNOWS how long. with how bassackwards CJC has been run since it's inception, it could take a loooooooong time to implement the workrules since they require infrastructure and diff. staffing.
Many will vote no on the contract if they tie the Q rate to the CR2 rate. Find it insulting.
I just want to be able to invest in my life and maybe go on an occasional vacation. Can't do it on my current rates.
