I would like to know what the options are, if we do end up kicking it back. If we have to negotiate for another two years, that's one year of a 10% pay raise, and one year of a 13% pay raise that we have to catch up on. How much better of a deal does it have to be to catch up on that?

Will the mediator stay with us, or give up? I hope that very soon, along with the specific details of this TA, that the union tells us what happens otherwise. I'd also like to hear from the negotiating committee. If they think they got the very best deal possible for us, it would be pretty depressing for them to hear all the negative comments about it. Before the specific details are even out.
