Now that the company has stated in writing (electronic type) that they only intend to send a guy on a STV for 1 month.....can they be held to that? It doesn't sound like a solid legal footing to me, but if anyone is going to be able to make it to the meeting, could they ask that question? The whole grieve it later BS won't help anyone once they are over there. I'm heading out to mil leave, but I'll check the board for updates....Thanks for anyone that can help out.

The problem is legality. The legality lies in the document our mec and the company sign. It says up to three bid periods...so guess what, one bid period may be the norm or intention, but they will hold you to the letter of the law, ie the contract.

I once worked for a gentleman who taught me about "..ly" words. Words like normally or usually. These are words ending in LY which seemingly (ops another one) convey a certain course of action will be taken. However, when a different, unexpected course of action ensues, the justification given is the current situation is outside the "normal" range of the agreement; or it is an "unusual" situation.
Every LY word represents a potential trap door, allowing one party of a contract to deviate from the agreement.
Hard numbers and concise language describing boundaries are needed to describe normal operations. I do not see this language in the current LOA or other follow on emails etc.

Something about good intentions paving something to somewhere......
There is no way that JL's letter is binding. I'm shocked that the MEC is giving any weight to his statement. If, this was an issue that the MEC was against and JL had put out the same letter, they would be deriding management for having the audacity to think we would "trust" management.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to JL. I just firmly believe that senior management can, and will, leave him and his statement twisting in the wind if it suits them and the bean counters.
