All of you considering a "No Vote"... Forget about it!
_________________________________
We're stuck with the medical "as is"...
We can't even negotiate a different medical plan through local intervention...
Negotiating power regarding receiving a better medical plan will not be achieved until the expiration of this contract in 2013...
_________________________________
You will have an opportunity to address all concerns regarding interpretation of the language of the tentative agreement in your meetings...
(start printing out some of this subject matter imbedded throughout this message board... print out a copy of the contract and highlight area's of concern... walk into these meeting prepared to talk...
You will receive re-assuring understanding of how, when and where language that is written is applied... If you ask enough questions)
__________________________________
The ever so prevalent holes throughout the contract will be filled by your negotiated supplements!
These supplements will contain language regarding "Past Practice" benefits that you have grown accustom to, enjoyed and or agreed upon in the past...
(you will need to start compiling a list of past practice items so that you can get that information into supplement form...)

Line Haul… “No” more point system for D&H’s and Fueling…
It’s as simple as this:
If your bid reads that your start time is 20:00 then you punch in at 20:00 (if your cut time is 20:00 then your bid needs to reflect time needed allowing you to pre-trip, hook and prepare for departure by 20:00) then you punch out when your ready to depart the terminal… reverting you back to mileage…
