Phase One: Nope

I know, I know, I don't post enough. So why not?

Back in July, I shared a bit of excitement about how I found a loophole in our work contract, one that had gone unnoticed for three years, but that enabled the company to hire fewer people and still cover the work. Well, phase one of the grievance has gone by with no change.

Essentially, the Union President found language that obviated the problem. He presented the finding at the grievance hearing. The result? To paraphrase: "That language is not in the contract." To continue the paraphrasing: "So there. Nyaahh."

I've been told that the grievance will continue, perhaps to a lawsuit. Should be fun.
