"One of our goals in Negotiations was to eliminate the need for the SIG and PSIT by achieving ironclad scheduling rules. About halfway through the process (when our first Mediator told us to give it up) we knew we would not achieve that goal. We then set about the task of strengthening the ability of the SIG to dispute and otherwise influence bad pairings for the better. We had some minor successes in that area, but in the final analysis we all knew that in the scheduling arena there is no justice—just us!"
A quote from BC!! The NC gave up on one of our MAJOR "pillars". Now we are going to have to live with the results of that decision. All of our so called "gains" in this contract are going to be negated by the companies cranking up of the optimizer. Any increase in monies we thought we gained are going to be more than covered by increased productivity by the company because the NC didn't protect us with better work rules.
