Please note, that awarding a position and actually releasing a person is two very different things.
I believe the EBA has expired, therefore the cap should be deemed expired.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day if you look after your employees they will run the company for you. I believe this is a Branson quote.
L.B
the conditions of an EBA remain in force even after it expires until replaced by another one.
