This is one of many reasons why I think the company is 3 steps ahead of us. We might be filling classes now, but eventually... whether it’s classes starting to dry up or they want us to go to PBS... the company knows they’ll have to raise pay at some point in the future.
This new agreement will make those future pay raises close to cost neutral or at least very negligible compared to our present pay and contract.
