"This past week several Local Chairman received letters from their Division Superintendents, containing lists of hundreds of employees who were found to be in violation of the unreasonable availability standards of the Policy. The letter suggested that Local Chairmen should interview the transgressing employees and respond in less than a week's time, identifying any "mitigating circumstances" that needed to be reviewed before those employees were sent certified letters advising them of their unsatisfactory work records. This Carrier removed the availability issue from the realm of good faith bargaining and then ignored the Organization's objections when the Policy was implemented. This Carrier portrayed its employees as lazy, unreliable featherbedders during the arbitration proceedings, and now that this Carrier finds itself mired down in an impossible administrative swamp, it asks UTU Local Chairmen for help out of the quagmire. The Policy as written simply cannot be administered fairly and equitably. Everyone involved knows full well that to continue will only bring more chaos, confusion, anger and adversity than already exists. This Carrier knows exactly what it must do to stop this madness. Calling on Local Chairmen to bail out the sinking ship is not the answer."
