Personally, I didn't take the COLA because it'd stink to take the month of May off without pay when there's a chance I'll have the month off with 50 hours or 75 hours or whatever is bound to be negotiated and/or a stipulation as part of a government bailout.
There are too many unknowns at this point for me to just blindly take the month off without pay no matter how much money I've got in the bank. Do you think those who took the COLA will be grandfathered in if a better deal is reached? Will you speak out against a better deal if those who took the COLA aren't grandfathered?
