Default The TA is finally here

seems like this should have its own thread.

i have to say i'm underwhelmed by the reserve section.

and the health insurance section.

i really don't know what to think about the vacation stuff. is it a big improvement?

Youve seen the full doc? Or just the highlights?
Serious question.

^^^ are you implying that the highlights and the letter of implementation are not real?

i wasn't trying to jump the gun. they've posted 3 documents, pretty crammed full of information. way more than the bullet points. i realize that the full language isn't there. but it will be tomorrow, they said.

i figured we could get started talking specifics (because these are specifics, these are not rumors [many rumors I've heard over the past week have been way off]), and the full language will only continue what this starts.

i'm not trying to force anyone to vote one way or another right now. i'm trying to start a dialogue that will be a month long.

I think the scheduling section is the highlight. I’m underwhelmed by some of the other sections, but the scheduling section is a place where they got it right.

i definitely see a lot to like in the scheduling section, too. especially in the comparison guide. i think they pulled some big wins in there.

Agree. That will likely be what causes me to vote yes.

The insurance, payrates, etc Are sort of meh. Not great, not deal breakers.

The vote passed 7-5. That in and of itself is telling.
