Delivery drivers at Atalanta Parcel Service formed a union in response to what they consider unfair practices at Atalanta, including lack of overtime pay. They negotiate a contract, which specifies that the workers must receive time and a half pay for working holidays and weekends. Two weeks into the winter holiday season, their busiest time of the year, the workers receive bonus checks in addition to their regular paychecks. Their paychecks do not reflect the new overtime pay, but the management claims that the amount of the bonus checks makes up the difference. The workers counter that they are owed the overtime pay they have negotiated in addition to the bonus checks. Management claims that the contract specifies that the new overtime pay rule begins following the holiday season. However, vague wording in the contract makes this unclear, leading to a heated dispute between workers and management. Atalanta's management knows that the company may never recover if it fails to deliver packages as promised during the holiday season, but they do not want to pay for the extra overtime that will occur. What is their best option?
A) to give workers an additional holiday bonus equivalent to 10 hours of overtime
B) to hope workers will continue to deliver packages, regardless of the agreement
C) to hire Jacquelyn, an arbitrator, to help resolve the dispute with the workers
D) to let workers sue the for overtime on the assumption the company will win
E) to host a town hall and allow both workers and management to air grievances
