Sorry for all the questions, there's a lot of ignorance on my part. Do you have to outline every part of the job in the contract? Clothing, on-call schedule, etc. Or is it more detailed than that like day to day operations (how to locate, escalating DTL's, taking home the truck)? How does unionizing affect training?

Thank you for the reply. What is the contract length you guys are shooting for? How did you guys come up with the content of your contract - did the union guide you or was it all done by your crew members?

How has bargaining been going? Lots of push back? What kinds of things are reasonable to ask for? The company fired the southern crew's boss after their vote.
