Shows how important snack basket negotiations are, though! United we stand and divided we fall!

This sh1t is going straight to section 6. Your friends at Qx have your back and we too will not tolerate this blatant negotiating in bad faith.
We have seen our "West Coast Vibes" snack basket go straight to hell with "healthy" and "smart" choices.

Section 4.a of the contract states:
“All snacks shall remain fresh and delicious. A snack found in the basket beyond its expiration date shall
be promptly removed, and crew members compensated with 150% new, fresh snacks.”
Can I still file a grievance - even though I ate them?

The company is trying to argue that the packaging doesn't specifically state 'expires' so that the date is a sell by date and that Oreos don't actually expire. This of course is incorrect. I'm in the process of contacting Nabisco.

My company has a clause that explicitly prohibits expired snacks. However, by changing packaging language from "expires on" to "best by," our expiration clauses have become legally useless.
We even ran it by the lawyers at ALPSBA (the Air Line Pilots' Snack Basket Association) National. They couldn't find an interpretation in our favor.
Good luck.
