The company already provides PS commutes when it's tight aka expensive. Our reserve rules are almost there, just need a few more hours and some help in the short call and field standby areas. You're right about double pay though. That's too much. I'd take 15% annual cost of living increases for the next five years, an accumulated downgrade that meets you more than half way. DONT NEGOTIATE IN PUBLIC. I'm not. Please don't. Save it for the union's survey.
I love that you close your negotiating in public statement with a “don’t do this.” Next MEC chair right there fellas!
Given the inflation the current administration has brought upon us, we better get full retro and 25% on day one…. And that’s just to break even. Anything less is a pay cut and better be DOA.
