That's not a wash. IMO it is superior to our curent contract. Whether 25-1 is "significantly superior" is in the eyes of the beholder.

I think the union numbers are very optimistic. For example, the gains assume profit sharing levels remain the same for the duration. The numbers they presented for jobs lost are very low which in turn would affect the numbers for concessions.

Not saying to vote yes or no....but realize the union is stretching the truth with the numbers they present.
