When has the company EVER acted in "good faith" later? Uhhhh, NEVER!

I seek NO retribution for 4.A.2.b. We voted on the previous CBA with it in there, we grieved it and lost. So be it, the process is the process and the company won, end of story. I have no doubt that the company was justified initially in entering 4.A.2.b, and proud to say that nobody was furloughed, but also have no doubt we remained in 4.A.2.b for a good 6-9 months longer than necessary.

I am not sure what "TIMELINE" the union is trying to meet but unless the TA is properly written and worded it our duty to vote NO and send it back. We can not change the past but only learn from our mistakes. I have forgiven but certainly NOT forgotten.
