[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 3877274, member: 4992"] Ok. The locations aren't scheduled and booked that far in advance. The only thing wrong with that premise.... is the dates, times, and locations are mutually agree to with the company. I doubt anyone is going to agree to hold a panel (let alone a National one) in Fargo ND in February. The company shares half of the general expenses. The other problem being, is the occupancy accommodations for the event. When the panels are booked, a block of rooms are secured until a certain date. Miss the cut-off for booking a room.... and you might not be staying there. That happened to me in Chicago. The Nation Panel was at the Hyatt in downtown. I didn't think we were going to hear a case I had docketed for the Air panel, and at the last minute, the labor guy decided not to pay the $53.00 grievance. The room rate was around $200 a night, but because I missed the cut-off.... it was now $745. My Local Union President laughed and said I could sleep in my car, or book a room in Rosemont and make the drive in and out everyday. So, my belated point being.... (besides it being a $53.00 grievance) I won't dismiss your thoughts, but there is more to it. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
