It would have been nice to at least mitigate the inflation of the past year and break even. Are you content with a paycut?
I'm paid the amount I agreed to, my pay hasn't been cut. Our purchasing power has gone down. Now ok, you'd like to remedy the situation by using the NEA arbitration as a vehicle to do so. That's fine. But i don't see the two as inherently connected. Read the arbitrators email and tell me how we see 8% via the process we're in at the moment? I just don't see it.
