Absolutely right. Problem is that our negotiators gave away part of profit sharing very early on...absolutely 100% guaranteed. They've been trying their best to denigrate it in our eyes ever since with their renaming it as "at risk compensation." They're doing it to reduce the blowback they know they're going to get. It'll be very interesting to see if a majority of the members fight back.
