[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 737259, member: 18044"] Some differences from one area to another are because the Contract language itself differs from one Supplement to another and from one Rider to another. There is also the difference between the National Master language and the entirely seperate contracts of Locals 705 and 710. Despite all these language differences, the applicable language, whatever it may be, should be enforced consistently everywhere. That's what was agreed to by both sides. The membership of each local does not have the free will to interpret and enforce the Contract as they see fit. The Contract is a legal document ratified by the membership having the force of law. They are bound to abide by it. It has already been interpreted in most instances. Any remaining grey areas are to be clarified via the grievance process. The time for airing different points of view is at Contract renewal times, past and future. A lone wolf is someone with a point of view that differs from everyone else. Not someone who is advocating the view shared by a majority of the voting members, the union officials, and management as well. Remember, if a supervisor is working, and an individual files a grievance to stop it, invariably the manager hearing the case will agree and say "supervisors are not suppose to work," that the supervisor was working "without management approval," and that "it won't happen again." In your absurd (and illegal) example, the solution is to let the 51% commit suicide first, as is their want, then there is no one left to object to the other 49% as they go on living. A win-win situation. :happy-very: Always read the Contract and know what you are voting on. [/QUOTE]
