Guess you didn't read my prior long post. I listed several cost neutral or low cost items we left on the table as well as some items the company needs to figure out a way to pay for to attract and retain people over the next 5 years. Don't worry, I won't miss the few hundred bucks this contract would put in my pocket in the short term. I chose to work here under this contract so I'm not getting steamrolled. Agreeing to extend this contract for 5 years making absolutely no gains that the union advertised as trying to get a year and a half ago is getting steamrolled.
