This are simply my opinions, and I was a no vote, but it certainly wasn't because of the lack of improvements in the A fund. That wasn't going to happen, and if anything the union NC probably should have tempered those expectations because that was the source of a lot of angst over the new contract. Live and learn.
The old "line in the sand". Is that all it takes? We should have drawn one too. Not just over hard fought items we wanted to keep.. How about a 20% raise? Ruth's Chris catering?
Next time they should use that early.
Well, if they truly had a line in the sand, how about putting it somewhere else? Waiting 9+ years for a 3% raise??
