How about this.... I was advocating raising the first year pay. It is a negotiated element. Period. Not to mention that I wouldn't feel very loyal to a union that let me twist in the wind, financially, the first year. It simply is the right thing to do. Anyway, right from TN's lips, he wants to raise the retirement benefit of those who have already retired. Not the over 60 folks working in the back seat, but people who retired and are no longer on the payrol(and no longer paying union dues). I realize they definitely got a crappy A plan ,BUT, what are you willing to give up to give these non-dues paying guys a better quality of life? I'd be willing to consider it, but it would be pretty freakin' low on my wishlist.
For your consideration...
PS: Why does it label me as a "New Hire" Under what menu can I change that? TIA
