That's not how this works. If you think the arbitration officer(s) are going to look at this 8% and consider it an act of good faith and allow further delays, then you don't understand how the process works.
We are so far behind our peers in all areas, including pay even with this raise, it's ridiculous. And the mediation team is/will be well aware of this fact.
I'll enjoy my $1000+/month extra and look forward to a leading TA/CBA.
