[QUOTE="chuchu, post: 1210737"] How do you grieve what hasn't been implemented in reference to the single day vacation driver coverage? The proposed contract is clear that they can be used all year long with volume fluctuations. We WERE made aware of the language change interpretation by our BA. I disagree with your assessments of the limitation of lesser seniority (<4 yrs) to file 9.5 grievances. We had to protest the MMI "sudden death" clause in the Central and the "service, safety and methods" language that was added to 17i to get them removed. It appears that we are negotiating with the union now. Haven't heard a peep out of the company because the union has been pushing this contract. There's no use argueing about what you or I think is a worthy contract because I believe that I hold the union negotiations to a higher standard than you do in performance during highly profitable years and many of us drivers and stewards believe that the members were greatly short changed in communication and support. As a steward I know what happens when language is left open to interpretation and I have no faith in this IBT leadership now. We are the ones left to defend our coworkers when this is all done. They've earned the distrust we feel. I've never had negative feelings about Hall but thousands of us do now. I'm not on a witch hunt here. But we have never felt like we have had to fight so hard against our own leadership as we have this contract and the IBT and our BAs agreed that it was handled very wrong from the beginning. The feeling of betrayal runs deep and it's very much justified. This whole deal has been a butchered affair and it sure as heck hasn't been the members fault. This union will never be the same unless we get new leadership and that leadership quits sleeping with the enemy. [/QUOTE]
