I mostly agree with the Coffee B*tch except I'll take the conspiracy a step further. I can imagine that the number crunchers have already looked at a probable TA outcome that resembles 3%/year plus some sort of retro-pay (we've proven that we'll settle for that small amount more than once) and have arrived at a cost savings per day for every day they can delay signing said Contract.

I can even imagine that there are folks on the management side of the table getting bonuses based on how long they can delay signing.

Every day that goes by "they" save money. Your salary and benefits are a necessary evil to get the freight moved overnight.

If you think they care one iota about us you are kidding yourself. It would be nice if we worked at an organization where Management was your friend. I've worked places where that was the case. It's not that way here. I'm disappointed ...
