[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 4613213, member: 37112"] And unlike bylaws, there's no requirement to make interps publicly available. You'll need a BA who has a set and doesn't mind teaching moments. Locals could spend hours on interps at Steward seminars (if they want to keep stewards awake). But to be fair, only decisions are listed, not full accounts of the JAC presented case, which invariably have many twists and turns. My frustration is ambiguous language that leaves members confused could be clarified at the next contract revision, but mysteriously isn't. An example from the CRT Supplement... Art 18 has a miscellaneous provision that states specifically..."Drivers shall not be disciplined for refusing to go back out on the street once they have returned to the building, after having completed their full day's work." The interp from a JAC decision on that provision from the late[B] 1980's[/B] limits those "drivers" to [U]Package Car[/U] drivers, yet inserting those two words has been beyond the ability of at least 7 CRT negotiating committees. And of course we've been all around the block on being forced to work on holidays even though provisions exist for not requiring work on holidays. Makes one wonder if stewards drink more than non stewards? [/QUOTE]
