I am on my way out at Pinnacle, hopefully by August or September. If by some miracle we do get presented with a TA that is acceptable and it gets voted in while I am still on property but quit the following week, they will still legally owe me a retro check will they not? I fully realize they would go out of their way to screw me out of retro pay, but my question concerns the legality of not giving me retro pay if it has not been distibuted before I leave. Just curious if anyone has had to deal with this before. I highly doubt that we can sign an agreement before September, but just thinking ahead.

I would think so - you would have legally been working under the new contract and would be due retro-pay...doesn't mean they'll actually pay it willingly. Just be ready to go after them if they try and pull a bogart on you. Also, if you can at all wait - I'd keep on with Pinnacle until a TA is signed - that'll be one heck of a check to put in the bank.

Last I heard from the union, it will definitely be a signing bonus, probably between $5-20k depending on years of service. I doubt you'll be getting any money if you leave prior to signing the contract.

It just depends what's negotiated and what the union decides to do.

I know I will get nothing if I leave before a new contract is signed, the question is if we ratify a new contract while I am still on property do I still get a signing bonus if I leave shortly after contract ratification?
