I agree. I thought the issue was addressed enough in that I made it number one priority. After all, no scope and everything else doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Made that clear in the comment section.

The questions that really ticked me off were the "variable compensation" questions. I used every last character I could in the comments section to show my disgust about how profit sharing is treated at this company, by this company and where I felt it belongs in our contract (hint: it doesn't...nor does VARIABLE compensation of any type). I will say it until I am blue in the face: either the company believes every employee contributes to profits no matter their union or contract status and should be rewarded for that AS ADDITIONAL REWARD/INCOME or they don't. It is not something for the union to negotiate IMO. If the company truly values US and our contributions to a profitable operation, they should pay us profit sharing, along with every other employee, no questions asked. Secure me scope, work rules, retirement, and hard quantifiable (read: NON-VARIABLE) income!
