Side letters etc are done for a reason. Previous management have had no problem adhering to letters of agreement, our new management have taken a while and pushed the point but they are now playing the game.
So they've started playing the game just prior to an EBA vote - colour me shocked. And they'll keep playing the game until they don't want to play anymore (which they can do at any time they like, because the letters are unenforceable
)
My strong advice, having been through this Eastern VS Sunstate BULL5HIT many times, is ignore the lies and exaggerations on this forum and get the correct facts from your negotiating team.
Oh yes because you can trust the negotiating team to deliver an objective, impartial opinion on the facts of this EBA
