I have zero direct knowledge. Apparently, they have not even broached any specific figures yet.

However, reading between the lines of all the communications - official, intrapersonal, and at the recent picket - the status reps, negotiating chair, and the MEC chairman are all keenly aware of the 'cost' of inflation. In addition, multiple 'players' have insisted this is two contracts in one, and that gains (to include pay) will be negotiated accordingly.

My expectations are very high, to include a DOS raise approaching 30% and retro back to the amendable date that at the very least matches inflation.
