That means we get pretty close to the same plus we keep our profit sharing intact.n Also, don't forget the other "loopholes" they want to close on us, profit sharing et al. Even if negotiations were to stretch out for 3 years we would still get two look backs in that time. Educate yourselves!
Yet another reason why we don't need to rush if the cost of doing so is concessions of any kind.
