The problem I've heard post merger is "if we get/ask for that, they will have to give it to the other employees". We never had to deal with that as they were on their own to get what they could. If they have a union, they will have to negotiate that extra .05 cents themselves. It won't matter what we get, only what they can negotiate for themselves.
