[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 922121, member: 18044"] AssistantSanta, Union Contracts can't anticipate every posibility. And sometimes the language is left deliberately vague either to get the Contract done by a deadline, or to deceive the voters into voting "Yes." If there is a difference of opinion on the interpretation of a word or phrase, it will eventually go to an arbitrator. The standard way to interpret language is to read it as plain English, as a normal person would, without stretching the meaning or reading anything into it. If either party claims the plain English interpretation is not what was agreed to, they must prove their case to the arbitrator by producing notes from the actual negotiations, and testify as to the verbal understandings during those negotiations. Since we rank-and-file people were not at the negotiations, we must assume a Driver's Helper must be a Helper who [U]actually[/U] helps a Driver (for a lot less money,) and not someone who works semi-independently [U]for[/U] [U]driver's[/U] [U]pay[/U].
