You are being force to perform labor today that was valued in 2016 and as valued must continue at 2020 levels in perpetuity. Indentured servitude. Change my mind. This requires PWA action. I have never advocated for legislative action because it’s futile. We need to take care of our own problem. CPI makes sense, equal % as other employees, “me too” for industry standard… all of them. Shifting and cherry picking metrics like SCOPE each cycle is not the solution.

If ever there was a contract to implement this, it’s now. Everyone sees a need as a result of inflation so the motivation is there The newer generation is coming into the industry questioning the inertia of tradition. The company is facing a real need for increased labor and a PWA that attracts candidates. The time is now.

I'm 100 percent with you. We are the only party that really loses by endlessly kicking the contract can down the road. A built in cost of living increase based on CPI is a no brainer in my opinion.
