Essentially for every $1 we gave (it is a negotiation) we are getting $25.
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.
And whether it's a double or a triple (in homage to the World Series) is also subjective. But it does advance the game.
In light of the company's prosperity and our past losses, any TA would probably fall short of our expectations. This one does. Several places where a few more gains should have been larger. Voting yes for 2 reasons, one is that this is the best we'll see in the next 2-3 years if we vote it down.
