I would like to see any clause containing weasle words such as "maybe, should, reasonable, at our discretion" removed.
Why doesn't civil air just give ASA what they want.
If you're not already aware the rules and process for negotiating agreements have changed recently. Even if you are a member you are not obliged to nominate the union as your bargaining representative, but can nominate yourself or another person to do so. Theoretically everyone covered by the agreement could nominate their own representative and they would all be entitled to attend negotiations. If you are not happy with civil air's previous negotiations you are legally entitled to nominate someone else to do it for you. If you wanted to, a group of you could get together and nominate someone to bargain on your behalf.
Both sides must bargain in good faith and the agreement must pass the 'better off overall' test.
