Company wants 8% , 1.5, 3, 1.5, 1.5. Union wants 18, 3, 3... There will be no scope, retirement adjustment, there will only be a pay adjustment and increase in medical costs for us. I can't say for sure where the numbers will settle out at but somewhere at or between these two. Depends on the economy and how hard the union pushes. Write it down... Check back in 24 mo's. It will pass by 60%.... Oh I know no one on here will vote for that.. They will quit, strike, burn the place down... When this happens one MEC guy will quit but you will have a new contract... I guarantee it!
