Apologize for aiming so low.
I love your "why limit ourselves to that" comment.
May 2004 rates plus inflation is not enough. I agree 100%.
Where we disagree is I believe a leader should lead, like John Malone used to. We have no leader. Just charts showing a downturn in the economy in 2017. Charts showing our rates plus profit sharing.
Even the commitment to a "historic" C2015 is on page 3 of True Headings 14-2.
We both know where this ends.
We fund pathetic hourly increases like C2012 with reductions in profit sharing. I predict a straight 10%, reduced from 20% for above $2.5 billion in profits.
We agree to longer freezes and other training concessions costing us jobs in every category.
And degradation of our sick leave.
Followed by a similar all out sales job mirroring C2012. Threats, empty promises and reckless projections.
Hope I am way off Shiz.
