I want the contract we have earned.

1) A real pay raise--not cost of living.
2) Protect the value of my retirement A plan

3)Protect the value of my benefits Medical (I don't want any unreasonable increase in costs and stop comparing my benefits to companies coming out of bankruptcy)

4) QOL improvements--No concessions

5) Hell our careers got extended by 5 years how about 30 years of creditable service towards the A plan and another week of vacation.

I'm sick of trying to just keep what we have and watching our QOL erode away. Death by 1000 cuts.

Again I think comparing ourselves to companies who have not been profitable for a decade is ignorant.

But if you insist then we already have an industry leading contract why would I accept one that has nothing more than a cost of living gain and forces me into QOL concessions. I'll vote No.

The company wants a decade long deal because even they know we won't be industry leading even among these just bankrupt companies for long.

I bet you only do day turns in your cubicle.
