What should the MEC have done? Should they have negotiated hard amounts of SILs in each category that the company would be required to offer?

The difference between shall, will and may.

Exactly. The company would never agree to a hard amount. Minimum? Maybe, but that still takes away flexibility.

Even if it said “shall” offer SILs, the company could’ve offered 3 and been in compliance. Nothing changes the fact that the SIL language was negotiated on the basis of the company offering a substantial amount of them in what would’ve truly been a win/win scenario. They decided to welch on their end of the spirit of the deal. They anticipated a cost either way. It seems they underestimated the cost of the choice they made.

As has been pointed out before. The company probable that little ploy from the virtual base fiasco. Same, same, only different when the shoe is on the other foot

Some of your posts can be hard to decipher.

Not everyone reads the way you think. It's your prerogative to write that way. But sure, me trying to understand what on earth you were writing is apparently insulting.

Have a nice day too:rolleyes:
