Well, one reason might be that we wasted negotiating capital in the last contract to increase first year pay for ungrateful new hires like yourself.

Seriously? You will eventually retire. The company has kicked this can down the road far enough and it is time to pay the piper on retirement.

We aren't in negotiations, we aren't in a work action, so what's your beef with flying draft? If you don't want to, don't, but don't crap on people who do. It's a choice, pure and simple.

Oh, and we turned down the opportunity to F you on retirement in the last contract, at our expense, so you should also be thankful for that.
