I have a price for portions of profit sharing turned into actual increases in pay rates and soft pay (I'm ALL about soft pay- that way it looks like we make less to the other groups).
Here's the catch: When PS trade deducted out, what is left in the TA has to be appropriate gains in this environment.
What PS really gives us now is extraordinary leverage. It's THE reason management has sped up negotiations. That would have (if we were unionized) allowed us to extract gains in every section...or walk away and continue to cash profit sharing checks while watching management squirm to explain it to Wall Street.
