Disturbing? yup. Surprising? not one bit. Do you think we would get full retro after 4.5 years in the box? Certainly ain't gonna happen with anything approaching a 14% (or hopefully more) pay increase. That 14.65% is about 3% per year compounded over those 4.5 years of negotiations. Is this a good deal?
