For years I've heard 99% of this group say we're never again going to accept 5% less. Now guys are tripping over their deeks to do just that. Inflation calculators have your 2019, $266/hr rate at $308 today. Do you believe you're worth $2 less than a mere inflation bump? If you really, truly, believe we hold all the cards, why are we settling for rates below a known range? Send it back and be confident in your Royal Flush.
