I have heard, and read, the "time value of money" (used in lieu of "this is as good as we can get"), more times than I can count in just the last 4 days.
What about THE TIME VALUE OF QUALITY OF LIFE??? Money is replaceable, QOL is not.
PicklePausePull, I would like to respond with your quote above every time I hear that "time value of money" concessionary talk, I would only add it will be more like 10 years for the next CBA, specially with the litter of concessions sprinkled thoroughout. It is no surprise the company wants this CBA to last longer...
