The question everyone should be asking is that last 10% worth the effort? As of right now, my answer is YES. Which means NO. Wait. I'm confused.
Whether one's leaning YES or NO, that context right there is certainly worth understanding. The union really did some SERIOUS heavy lifting.
You got the QOL improvements.
You got the Schedule flexibility improvements.
You got the Scope and Job Security protections.
Hourly Rate is not what was hoped for, but the Snap Up provisions safeguards not being left too far behind, right?
Signing Bonus could be better, but could be viewed as the compromise in this process, if the JG Wentworth, "Its My Money, and I Need It Now!" stance is not adopted.
If ratified, the fact of the matter is that it wouldn't be a $hiddy contract to work under, by any measure. It's not the fully loaded, customised model one would've preferred, but it nevertheless comes VERY well equipped.
I'm leaning YES, but very much on the fence atm, and would actually vote NO, if I were to become convinced that from a RISK vs REWARD point of view, suiting up, and jumping back into the battle for that last 10% is the wisest thing to do.
