I think it would be great if Parker gave us min day. It's not going to happen no matter how high the company's profits go.

I also think even with the companies high $85 mil price tag it's such an insignificant factor in the overall value of the increased contract that we'd be idiots to not pass it.

Would you rather make $80k-$100k less but have a min day that would compensate, on average, $1.25 per hour? Roughly $6k over the life of the contract. That is essentially what you are saying.

It just doesn't make sense, and trying to "show" the company just shows how dumb collectively we are.

Be ****ed, but at least have the money in your pocket at the same time for Pete's sake!
Careful, you'll be labelled "anti-union". Really, though, they don't need you to tell them what they already know.
