Do you really intend to have us believe that if Onstien, Bedford, or Parker, et al, get concessions from the top of their pay scales, they'll replace those same dollars at the bottom of their payscales???
Well, obviously in the course of new contract negotiations, redistributing those dollars to the bottom would have to be an established bullet point. I feel like a Communist saying that... But having said it, I'm not sure management would care as long as they're not paying more cumulatively.
Anyhow, it's just a thought.
