[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 260422, member: 1957"] Maybe someone can tell me why Article 14 will eliminate the concept of "past practice" regarding won grievances. This could result in unbridled harassment, wholesale terminations and genocide of the species known as " hourly union employee". But, by God, we got our retirement package! Maybe I will learn why Article 34 apparently says normal retirement age is 65. This must be good? Maybe I will enjoy Article 34 when, not if, the company decides it needs $.35 to bolster the pension. Maybe I will rejoice when Article 26 allows sub contracting of feeder work to the point that no new runs are available to the senior feeder drivers and no new feeder drivers are being trained. For those in pkg car that are trying to get out.....good luck. And finally, I know it's not important but someone thought it was important enough to change the word "handicap" in article 36 to "physical disability". I wonder which side of the negotiating table this came from and what the real intent is? For those who can't tell, this post is laden with sarcasm. The "retirement carrot" is being dangled in front of our noses at the cost of some other very important language. I'm voting "NO". [/QUOTE]
