Rule of Law?
<Most of us come from 1st world countries where the Rule of Law is paramount. It is the basis of civilization.>
Swanman,
Funny, I left AC after many, many years because they abused the 'Rule of Law'. Wage & Working Conditions would be challenged immediately, after a new contract. Union grievances were filed, but the contract continued to be ignored. After extended negotiations failed, and arbitration was forced as a final result, inevitably all grievances were tossed out by the arbitrator.
Shortly after the new arbitrated contract, the company would ignore those portions of the new contract that it couldn't work around. The union would protest, and the company's response was, 'Grieve it'. this would carry on to the next contract negotiation, arbitration, where again, all grievances were tossed out .....
After many years of this charade, it seemed pretty clear to me what to do. CK
