But when you peel back the onion you begin to cry. The money isn't growth money, it's replacement money. Every penny of increase in these pay rates comes from somewhere else in the contract. Profit sharing, scope losses, and productivity gains for the company plus the other employee groups profit sharing finances every last penny. In other words, every penny raise is taken directly from the back pocket of someone else. Is that what we are about?
