That is more valuable than a grievance that was more than likely several years away from resolution and was probably going to fail.
Pay increase isn't even industry standard for all AC types. Full retro is great, no argument there. The pay raises are now industry standard with UA's snap to clause. Will we have a snap to? Doubtful, given the change to 3.B.4
PS untouched is status quo. The grievance was from a past scenario, so throwing it out sets a bad precedence.
