For this industry (for my family) it's looked like this: 1983 to 1996 bad. 1996-2001 improvement. 2002-2007 very bad. 2007-2009 slight improvement. 2009-2012 improvement. 2012 to 2015 good. 2015-2016 very good.

I personally won't vote for another concessionary contract ever again. I have drawn my own line in the sand.
