You're dramatics are meaningless. The 15% won't get cut off the bottom it'll just be less total needed in the future. That 15% hasn't been hired yet....and given the lack of people even showing up to class or finishing, I don't think that's going to be a problem. But go ahead keep that future 15% so everyone can do their best working schedule magic and trip drops to try to get what you want.
People on the bottom don't get their desired schedule under either plan so that point is meaningless too.
I've had years of both types. PBS by far has been better.
But I understand when you have severely low wages it's hard to make up the lack income unless you pick up huge amounts of credit some way.
Hopefully you guys win and get industry-standard wages and these problems will be in the past. I really do wish you the best of luck. If I was anywhere near Texas tomorrow I would march with you guys.
BTW I have been in that bottom 15%. But if I spend my whole career worrying about being in the bottom 15% and forget about the 85 that doesn't make for such a great career.
