At a certain point the negotiations between the union and the company sort of become academic. How long can management keep adequate staffing when annual raises are less than the increase in the cost of living? Yes, SOME people will come here, but the vast majority of qualified applicants will have better options. This isn't just a labor dispute. It's about the viability of the company itself.
