Thanks. Whether it's true that raises past amenable date can't be included or the company will never agree to it, it doesn't matter, as we'll never see it added in a contract.
I used to ask the same question about why we can't add in automatic raises past amenable date to encourage companies to sign a new contract so I understand why the question keeps popping up at new contract time.
Unfortunately, it's usually in the company's best interest to stall negotiations as long as possible after the amenable date. I doubt that will change.
