Any raises granted to more than 30% of our fellow employees will be matched for us, up to 3% annually. In all, we realistically stand to not realize the initial net increase and probably not much more, if any.

After the TA failed, the Negotiating Committee Chairman challenged any of those named at the bottom of this statement to provide proof of the speculative financial impact analysis and not a single one of them could give an explanation based on facts. Several of them were asked during their own LEC meetings to provide the proof and, again, they could not.
The only defense they had was their admission that the statement was provided by a third party and none of them had come up with this analysis, but they believed it to be true, nonetheless, and published it.
It was a pure conjecture and it was published by this group in an effort to bolster the vote against the TA.
Hey Chuck,
How's Alpa nationals?
Your statement is misleading. The assertion made is forward looking and therefore unprovable. You are clinging to a TA that extended and added concessions.
Your defense of the indefensible is sad.
