It seems like everyone expects a 3-year deal with 3 years of raises going forward and all retroactive to 2020.

If we are negotiating two contracts as has been stated, then why not negotiate a 6-year deal?

I'm sure the company can figure out retroactive raises year-by-year. So, why not inflationary-ish numbers from 2020, 21 and 22, THEN start with the new numbers.

1.4 for 2020, 7 for 2021 then 9 for 2022 and get 1 check encompassing all prior years.

The 20% day 1 crowd that implies it should be 20% from 2020 is out of touch with reality.
