What your NC should focus on is getting a quality TA that doesn't sacrifice scope or quality of life for a little extra $$$ and one that includes yearly raises beyond the next amendable date so that the next time negotiations come up you'll keep getting yearly raises. Something like a yearly COLA+1% should do the trick.
