We beed to be willing to send the company the clear message that they *must* pay more overall before we will be able to get them to pony up. We shouldn’t be selling ourselves short on any part of this.
I agree with this sentiment, I think our issue with the argument over healthcare above is the fact that that mentality is indicative of someone who is out for themselves, and doesn’t see the big picture. We have to get these folks on board and understand why that mentality will hurt us in the long run. Unions only have true power when everyone is on the same page. The whole “what I want is different from the senior guys” and vice versa undercuts the whole process.
