I am pleased with every contract improvement you get. I am happy every time we improve our profession.

We both know the reason management is making things better ... because as a labor group you failed so severely that no one except for you and your cadre are willing to work for what you voted yes to. So the market is fixing the problem for you.

Again, I very much hope your contract improves. It will improve, not as result of your work and not as fast as I would like, but it will get better.
