So what do you really want from your bargaining agent?
Does it really need to be about "pushing the bar higher" or "leading?" So big deal they didn't "lead the industry" or "set the bar" prior to our pay cuts. They were certainly competitive. Otherwise, they wouldn't be at almost our inflation adjusted C2K levels of compensation now. I don't really care if I'm the "highest paid." It's not a contest and I don't care about bragging rights. I just want to be paid appropriately.
BTW, who's leading and setting the bar higher now?
