All,
I have been on leave seeing family for the last week but I have spent some of that time working to try to make our round 2 bid work. Lee Kramer and I have been communicating about this and we are working to try to figure out the best way we can get the most leave slots while still complying with the MOU/Contract. We are making progress but it is still going to be a bit. I really want to stretch our leave availability to the max extent possible. So I apologize for the delay but thank you for being patient and trusting that I am doing everything I can to get us the best deal possible.
Cascade LOA
Garret and I have been working with Cascade on this and we proposed doing a trial period with the ideas that were in the previous email and in slack. For some reason, Cascade is unwilling to even do a trial period with the ideas we proposed. Apparently what we have offered isn’t enough. So those negotiations will be handled another way. More to follow on that as I have it.
Thanks again for your patience with the bid. We will make it happen soon.
In Solidarity,
Drew
