[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4828764, member: 76643"] I'm curious to see how this plays out too, and since on Monday I'll file my third 9.5 grieve in as many weeks I won't be surprised if next week offers grounds for my 4th. I requested the same meeting last year on my 6th grieve of the year. I was disappointed to learn that my BA didn't address it at locals because he was worried about 'rocking the boat', e.g., the labor manager would be annoyed and begin refusing to pay out 9.5 on grounds that Covid constituted an emergency/act of God and the grieves would get deadlocked, as apparently happened in other districts. I let it slide, and they stopped violating in my case, but this year I will not. However, since the book doesn't specify any penalty, let alone means of enforcement, if the company continues to violate after holding this meeting, it seems toothless ... just a minor inconvenience for the labor manager, right? If you haven't read [URL='https://www.browncafe.com/community/threads/9-5-language.390207/']this 9.5 thread[/URL] from earlier today, in post #26 [USER=68456]@JustDeliverIt[/USER] made a compelling suggestion of one way to ensure the company complies. Winning it would surely take a well-executed nationwide strike. [/QUOTE]
