That’s a huge retro check for them. Same might be said for most 2021 hires.
This nonsense needs to just get done and without a serious show for unity, public fighting battles WITH us (post picketing), and serious pressure on EB and the gang, it’s an uphill battle… but it needs to come to a peaceful conclusion in the near term. This is shifting from a distraction to a movement.
I’m relatively new here and I think anything short of 30% DOS plus increases over the next few years may as well be not worth talking about. My family’s grocery bill has increased by 30%. Utilities are up about 30-40%. My property taxes have increased. 20% just about gets everyone here close to break even with what their dollar in 2019 could buy. So you figure at 30% DOS you’re looking at a realistic 10-12% raise?
$10,000 signing bonus. That’s nothing. $10,000 is a fart in the wind in today’s market.
