At absolute best, we would get any TA'd (and ratified) pay rate paid back to 1/1/2016 but, in reality, you would have better success playing pick-up sticks with your butt cheeks than you will of seeing a full retro paycheck, much less one oaying back to the first stock buyback.
Let's shoot for something realistic and rational.....like realigning sick leave renewal to one's hire date as a start.
How about we shoot for what is fair. 100% retro pay starting 01/01/2016. We might not get it, but hopefully end up with something more than nothing, and call it a partial win. If it doesn't cost management something for blowing off the amendable date, how long will it take to get a contract next time?
I agree with Mike on realigning our sick time too. I'm fine with Month of hire for resetting our sick year, but we need to get something for helping them solve a problem of theirs. I've got an idea, full retro starting 01/01/2016. See there, problem solved. We've almost got the contract done already. What's next?
