Unless you're talking about one-time retirement enhancements that only apply to a specific group, everything that gets added in negotiations should ultimately benefit all of us. Adding things that are a one-time benefit for new-hires is actually the only way to likely carve out a group and have nobody currently on the list ever see any benefit. It's just fact.
I am neither a new-hire, nor am I anywhere near retirement.
Again:
15th year pay happens over and over and over (including for most every new-hire).
First year pay happens once.
