If you don't think the contract is fair you should have applied somewhere else or worked to change it while you were on property (I assume you're working on getting it changed now?).
Just my thoughts after 25 months on furlough.
Right I didn't provide any service. Not saying that I should have been paid while on furlough. Just that I don't think its fair that I am on second year pay. Just how I feel. The probability of getting back is probably zero anyway, but figured it doesn't hurt to ask.
In all honesty I did not (nor know of anyone who does) know, or care, about the furlough language in the contract at the time I got hired. Maybe thats something I will look for if I ever go somewhere else. Do you really think I would have passed up ASA just based on the furlough language anyway? I've never heard of that being a reason why someone passed up a job up. Unless you know someone who works there, how can you get a copy of a contract for a company you don't work for? The contract we are under now was signed before I was hired, so I had no say in it. Thats why I put this thread on here to try to get it changed. I have already contact our MEC.
