Another year of negotiations could yield almost no gains for us on top of lost wages and security this TA provides. So it's a risk vs reward game for sure since the moderator is definitely corporate friendly vs union friendly.
Remember this will be a 6-8 year contract. UA is in negotiations now with DL following next year. Y’all will be so far behind you will never catch up. If you can’t get close to the majors now then you never will.
