No...not really. The point is we shouldn't have had to give up the profit sharing to get the cost of living raises we got. We should have gotten both. ANYTIME you give up something in our negotiations it is rarely ever going to come back. I too would rather the hourly pay, but not at the expense of giving up something we already had. Remember....they came to us that time. You can call it *****ing if you want. I call it selling out cheap. Yes...I did vote no.
