I know what you're saying about "this environment". I think that too but I also look at APPL with 1/5 of a trillion in the bank and printing money and their employees are paid what they're worth. They're not all getting 100% raises. There is not a 1:1 correlation with profit to pay raise. I think our pay rates are based on what American just got. They got we were making based on our profit sharing. It's a vicious circle. We're not going to get pay rates 15% more than American plus a profit sharing check for 20%.
I actually agree with this point. My issues with this TA have nothing to do with Section 3.

During a time of record profits, AAPL isn't asking it's employees to shorten their lunch breaks or give up more control over which shifts they work at the Apple store.

It's the work rule changes in this TA that are a deal breaker for me.
