Scratch?
Seems that the "slate" currently has all but one thing the rest of the class has. How can that be called "blank"?
"Under Board law, an employer is obligated during negotiations to maintain terms and conditions of employment and observe the status quo, absent agreement."
Now, the new slate may be partly blank. But if/when completed will be carved in stone. Unlike your current slate which is subject to change.
Just an observation. The rest of the story...
Evidently you don't understand the negotiation process. Yes, the company maintains the status quo. That doesn't mean anything that is currently paid is actually paid in the end result contract. Everything in the contract is negotiable. You attempt of play word games. Quit playing checkers, chubby...we're playing chess here.
