It's not gone, it's in our pockets. And we would bargain off those rates in the next contract.
Forget it. Math and risk analysis is obviously hard.
You guys should consider converting all of our pay to profit sharing.
Two questions. One, if trading PS for pay rates is a good deal, why is management pushing it so hard? Two, when the economy turns, and it will, the company will come after our pay rates. Then we end up with a contract with lousy QOL concessions, PS decreases for when the economy recovers, and reduced pay rates. Not sure why you're arguing the company's line, but your argument that we would bargain off new rates in subsequent contracts ignores the history of this profession.
