Its nice that we put it in, but that doesn’t mean anything to the company in regards to what gets signed in the end.
The company needs to know that if they drag out a negotiation an entire contract cycle, it will cost the same PERIOID. The flip side is that it will cost them twice as much going through a strike first. And yes, after the company's measly offer, the mediator is going to cut us loose.
